“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
