Q1: What do I need to do to get SmartSearch working?

A: A few things to make sure of:

  • Click the Koders logo on the Plugin and be sure to Enable SmartSearch
  • Read and agree to the terms of service
  • You will need to be a registered user at koders.com
  • See Q2 about proxies
  • In Visual Studio, you must be in a file within a project
  • Be sure you are typing within the class
  • Try a simple string like GetAddress() or GetName()

    • Q2: What proxy configurations do the Koders IDE plugins support?

    A: Currently the plugins have only been validated against non-authenticating http proxies. However we are working to support more configurations. If you encounter a case where the plugin does not work with a particular proxy server configuration, please send us the information below, using our Feedback Form.

  • Can you access http://www.koders.com from Internet Explorer or some other browser?
  • From within the Koders Plugin Search Panel of your Eclipse/VS IDE, can you perform a search and get results?
  • If you answered YES to Q1 and NO to Q2, check your IDE settings under ‘General’ options for the Web Browser to ensure that it is using same Browser configuration for the internal browser as was used in a) above.
  • If you could successfully perform a search in steps I. and II. above, try enabling SmartSearch.

    • If SmartSearch fails, please let us know via our Feedback Form, being sure to include your answers from above and additionally note the following:

  • What is your proxy server configuration (e.g. http, SOCKS5, SOCKS4, Microsoft ISA)?
  • Is it an authenticating proxy?
  • Provide as much network information as possible.

    • Q3: Will the Koders IDE Plugin work with Microsoft ISA proxy?

    A: Unfortunately, we do not support the Microsoft ISA authenticating proxy at this time.

    Q4: Why do I not see https in the URL for the embedded browser after clicking on the results of a SmartSearch tag, when I have https selected as a preference?

    A: It is by design that https is only used for the initial web service request which retrieves the SmartSearch results. Https will not be set in the URL for the embedded browser and thus is not used for further navigation of the results.

    Q5: How does the “Repeat Searches” feature work for SmartSearch?

    A:

  • Repeat Searches ON: SmartSearch will perform a search each time the method or class is typed.
  • Repeat Searches OFF: SmartSearch will only perform a search the first time a specific method or class is typed.

    • Note: Repeat searches only considers the method name to determine whether or not to repeat a search. So if you have an overloaded method and “Repeat Searches” is off, it will not search again if the method has the same name but a different signature.

    Note: Exception to the rule for VS and Eclipse/Ruby: If “Repeat Searches” is on and search terms are added, deleted, and then re-added in the same file, the term will not be searched for again in that file.
