This package is inspired by howdoi python and howdoi Emacs packages. it searches your query all across stackoverflow and it’s sisters’ sites. They are:
- stackoverflow.com
- stackexchange.com
- superuser.com
- serverfault.com
- askubunu.com
The result is then showed in an org-mode buffer. For each result, question and
three answers were showed, but they are collapsed by default except the first
answer. As this package uses Google to get the links, for each query there will
be a dozen of links, the fist link will be used, then use can go to next
link and previous link. The author believes that when searching for solutions it
is important for users to read both questions and answers, so no “quick look”
features such as code only view or code completion are provided.
