Works great. Questions like "Hey, Dick, I seem to remember some document
someone wrote a couple of years ago that mentioned a frammis-widget
compatibility issue. Can you find it for me?" suddenly became easy to
answer in under a minute instead of requiring half a day of searching. I
highly recommend the tool.
