Maybe Copilot could be turned into a context-aware search engine? That is, invoking it would return a list of examples that it thinks do the same thing as what you're trying to do, based on your work-in-progress code.

- saurik 5y agoYeah: I would love this; I actually often try to use GitHub like this, and it sort of works at times, except GitHub's search features frankly suck.
