For the love of God why did they have to name it "Visual Studio Code"?

How do I do google searches about the regular Visual Studio?

@Nifflas Rule 1 of every great marketing strategy:

Name your product something that makes it impossible to search for online. 👍

@Nifflas You can use - to exclude words and phrases: -"visual studio code".

Hey, I think most search engines allow excluding strings with a dash like this. Give it a try.

visual studio -"visual studio code"

@Stev_Squared I'll give it a try and include -vscode too, maybe that'll help

@Nifflas Add the year to your search, like Visual Studio 2019 or 2021.

@PotMetPetunias That itself doesn't seem to help. But I'll try excluding the stuff I don't want with the - modifier
