How from this explanation can I get what is the # that I should type to
get implementors?
Because I got the same problem with the help.

Hi Paul,
Let's take it from the beginning. Spotter is a completely new tool
whose goal is to help you find all sorts of objects. See here some
more detailed explanations:

http://www.humane-assessment.com/blog/finding-asclass-usages-in-glamour-using-gtspotter/

http://www.humane-assessment.com/blog/scoping-for-specific-search-category-in-gtspotter/
Although the tool looks simple, it implied a rather extensive effort.
As a consequence some features did not make it until the Pharo4
release. One of these features is a proper results sorting mechanism.
So, it's not that someone decided that the order should now be
different. It's more that proper ordering did not make it in the
release, and this impacts the implementors case more often.
But, if you want to play with a different strategy, here is an example
to start from. One thing that the current Implementors processor does
is to show the actual methods. This works well in many cases, but
there were people that preferred to search for selectors instead and
then get the list of all methods. To achieve this, try the following:
Compile this method:
GTSpotter>>spotterSelectorsFor: aStep
<spotterOrder: 29>
aStep listProcessor
title: 'Selectors';
filter: GTFilterSubstring item: [ :filter :context |
SystemNavigation default allBehaviorsDo: [ :class | class selectorsDo:
filter ] ];
actLogic: [ :each | self systemNavigation browseAllImplementorsOf: each ]
Then type accept, and click on a result and you will get the
implementors browser. This is just an example to help you get started
with customizing Spotter, and it is not the experience we want to
promote. Instead, we should be able to dive in a selector and see the
concrete implementors within Spotter.
Cheers,
Doru

Hi Doru,
By "the old version of Spotter" I meant whatever was in Pharo 3
that would
produce a list of search results with exact matches at the top
when I'd hit
shift+enter and then type e.g. 'accept.' Sorry to have said
"Pharo 4" &
been unnecessarily confusing.
I'm just going to use 'accept' for this example but why show the
mixed list
of 637 implementors of accept* and not lead with "accept". Why was it
decided that inexact matches to the typed input be privileged
above exact
matches in the new tool? Is it a bad Levenshtein distance
algorithm or
something?
Thanks for helping me figure it out
