Solved

Someone already fixed this.

Describe a problem the way you would say it out loud, a warping first layer, a dishwasher that hums but will not drain, and it finds the answer that worked and shows you the fix before you click. Searches Stack Exchange today. Free, no account.

Who it is for. Anyone about to type a broken thing into a search box and wade through twelve pages of blogspam.

Solved: describe a problem in plain words and get the thread that fixed it

What it does

Describe the problem the way you would say it out loud.

A warping first layer. A dishwasher that hums but will not drain. A code that came back after a sensor swap. You do not need to know the right vocabulary, because the whole problem with searching for a fault is that the person who knows the answer used different words.

Solved finds the discussion that actually got resolved and shows you the fix before you click through, so you can tell in two seconds whether it is your problem.

What it searches, honestly

Stack Exchange, today.

It is branded around forum threads, and the honest position right now is that the index is Stack Exchange. The wider forum crawl is not done, and this page will say so until it is.

The thread belongs to the people who wrote it. Solved shows a few lines and sends you to the source.

Questions

Straight answers.

What does it search?

Stack Exchange at the moment. The broader forum index is still being built, and this will be updated when it is.

Do I need an account?

No. There is no sign-up.

Does it copy the answers?

No. It shows a few lines so you can judge relevance, then sends you to the original thread.

We build software like this for other people, too.
