**What do you dislike about Etsy Hound?**

Sometimes when you need to keep track of a specific activity or monitor the ongoing search query, it may take a while to get connected with the existing database, integrating the source code with JIRA, seems a little confusing, and might be overwhelming when it comes to implementation.

**What problems is Etsy Hound solving and how is that benefiting you?**

To be honest, Etsy hound has helped me in my overall work. Searching with a key index over thousands of libraries. Finding an appropriate function, searching for its matching types in other repositories, navigating to the nearest possible definition, building a web UI, checking dependencies, and executing the program in hound server and so on.

  ### 3. Quick code search
