“search is an entry point into the environment”

0:05:17

“dive-in” into search item—search inside the object

0:07:41

search is not a monolith—it’s not a single-step activity, it can be refined

0:09:27

search has “categories”

0:15:47

(many things in GT are pluggable with pragmas: spotter, inspector)

0:17:18

you can search through different things, not necessarily code (e.g., searching through an address book or other domain objects)

0:24:04

context-dependent search. e.g., an address is searchable only if there is an address book in the context

0:26:20

smalltalk has symbols: #symbolName

0:27:01

moldability: extension should be cheap to add

0:39:33

context can also be accessed from the inspector
