Sometimes I want to find out if there is an Instant Answer for a particular set of queries - but I don't know the exact format and/or it isn't live so I can't test it out.

It would be really useful if we could search by query and have a similarity algorithm (@pjhampton you know about this stuff!) that would show Instant Answers (along with the query) with similar example queries (in order of best match).

For example, say I wanted to get the square root of a number (and lets pretend the calculator will trigger on square root of 3 but not what is the square root of 3) then I could search what is the square root of 3, and since the calculator has a similar trigger (square root of 3) it would display.

I have a couple of suggestions for this:

  • Use the example queries provided (very highly ranking in match results).
  • Grab all the WORDs used in the triggers and shove those in the algorithms.
    • Issue: Regex triggers would be a pain.

This is a really great idea @GuiltyDolphin. I don't have the time right now, but if you assign it to me I will definitely take a look in the coming weeks.
