Presently LabVIEW and it's toolkits ship with a number examples. At the same time there is a massive amount of information and examples with content like the examples and the things that are much more. When I am searching for an example I often can't remember if I saw it on the web or in the examples. So first I open the Example Finder, a tool that I really like, and search for things there. Then if I don't find what I am looking for there I open up a web browser and search the NI Communities, then the NI forums and other forums (like LAVAG.org). It would be nice that instead of having to use to programs the Example Finder could give a list of possibly related items on the NI forums. I think this could be managed using the existing tagging feature of the forums with perhaps by having an #example_code tag. A crawler program could then parse though the tags and grab the links to pages of possible matches populating a database. Then this database could be access by the Example Finder for related info.
Another option would be for me to be able to find a link I like and attach it to my example finder or perhaps to my NI.com community account. That would be useful.
Actuallly, if there was an API for example finder that'd work too.
