Maybe we should transfer the Finder>Examples behaviour to GTSpotter and promote it more.�� (I've not got Pharo with me to check. Maybe I remember some announcement on this, but its not very visible or discoverable).�� Its filter might be #howto, similar to #i and #s.

I mentioned the idea that Spotter should directly allows one to type examples and get the answer during the Pharo days.
And I guess that andrei already implemented it :)

We made an integration of the examples finder for spotter a while back but I do not remember why I did not integrate it and now I cannot seem to find it. We can do it again as it's not that complicated :)

The only issue is that compileSilently is not that silent. In spotter we need to permanently compile the query that you enter and compileSilently leaves a trace in the "recent changes" list:
