Look at him go!

we could add it, but would we still have to host from what i understand?
Yeah, something that stays online and can run python
If you wanted control over it
I could probably also host it but youd have to add it to the server and trust that im not malicious lol, and wont randomly change its functionality
Another issue with checking by keywords is itd have no idea of the context, so it could be annoying. First things that come to mind are either restricting that to a specific channel (which i guess would be a glorified search bar lmao) and maybe checking how recently the user joined the server, so if someone more experienced replied using that keyword it wouldnt trigger? Idk
Like a desktop you never shut off or a raspberry pi, or paying some subscription somewhere that hosts a virtual machine for you
Hm I think there are existing bots that do the same function - not sure if they’re free tho
But this would definitely help for the commonly asked questions
Yeah that too i feel like mee6 should be able to add keywords
But idk how customizable that would be
But yeah the easiest way i see it is basically a channel dedicated to being a search bar because people would rather send a message than use the actual search bar. And itd be slightly easier sincr you could link directly to messages in the guides or something
