I you want to add a new bang operator (!foo), please, create an issue.

Thank you.

Sites

There are 5 categories of search on Quickref.dev. Each corresponds to a .txt-file of indexed sites:

• All (all.txt)
• Docs (docs.txt)
• Forums / Q&A (forums_qa.txt)
• Blogs (blogs.txt)
• Repositories (repositories.txt)

Category "All" is compiled automatically by combining all other categories. Quickref.dev searches in all subdomains, regardless of depth. For example, if https://abc.com is specified, all existing subdomains (https://x.abc.com, https://y.x.abc.com, etc) are indexed and searched.

Cards

Each card is structured as follows:

"list of words":
  name: "Name"
  description: "Short one sentence description."
  links:
    website: "https://official_website.com"
    quickstart: "https://official_website.com/getting_started"
    "community docs": "https://clojuredocs.org/"
    "Mailing list": "https://groups.google.com/forum/..."
    subreddit: "https://reddit.com/r/..."
    ...

The "list of words" is used to match cards to queries. A card is displayed if the user's query contains at least one of the specified words (case insensitive). For example, requests clojure, clj, clj list or clojure map will all match this card:

"clojure clj":
  name: "Clojure"
  description: "Dynamically typed, functional dialect of Lisp. Immutable values, strong typing, hosted on JVM and other platforms."
  links:
    website: "https://clojure.org/"
    quickstart: "https://clojure.org/guides/getting_started"
    "community docs": "https://clojuredocs.org/"
    "Learn in Y minutes": "https://learnxinyminutes.com/docs/clojure/"
    "Q&A forum": "https://ask.clojure.org/"
    "Clojurians Slack": "https://clojurians.herokuapp.com/"
    "Mailing list": "https://groups.google.com/forum/#!forum/clojure"
    subreddit: "https://old.reddit.com/r/Clojure/"
