Hex Documentation Search

概要

Facilitates comprehensive exploration of Elixir and Erlang ecosystems by searching Hex package documentation and source code. It employs a smart search strategy that first looks within local project dependencies and cached files before progressively fetching missing data from Hex.pm or falling back to web searches. This ensures developers get the most version-accurate information, including function signatures, usage examples found directly in their own codebase, and implementation details from the underlying source code.
