Extension summary

Bugout is a search engine for programmers. You can search Bugout for API or library methods and for errors. Bugout responds to your queries with examples of code that uses those methods or fixes those errors.

To use Bugout from your browser, highlight an error message and click the Bugout icon or hit Alt+b.

Bugout currently supports Python APIs, libraries, and errors with a focus on the Python data science stack. As we grow our search engine, we will add more Python APIs and libraries (web frameworks like Flask and Django, infrastructure libraries like boto3). Once we have a solid offering for Python, we plan to expand to other languages.

https://code-search-vni.herokuapp.com/ - I've developed an extension to look like it, you can test it and compare the results of 2 module. By the way, I use NK-VECTOR (https://www.npmjs.com/package/nk-vector) for embedding and just do it with Javascript.
