Unfortunately, that plugin requires an “Enterprise” account under their hosting plans and we’re on a tier below that so we don’t have access to it. It does look quite useful, though.

Oh, that’s a pity. I recently found that someone was asking for help here about one of my packages because I googled the package name, but that was already two or three days old. Having this would be very nice, particularly for these packages which have smallish user bases.

I see on the ToS for discourse meta that automated access is not permitted, but I don’t see the same rule in the Julia discourse ToS.

Is it allowed for someone to write a simple program to run some saved searches?
