#Default Search Behaviors for "howdoi":
alias howdoi='howdoi -n3 -a -c'

#The default behavior does three things:
#display three answers to the question
#show complete answers with link, explaination, and (possibly) code
#use of colors to highlight code

#These default behaviors can easily be overriden...for example 
#"howdoi solve the halting problem -n 1" is translated to
#"howdoi -n3 -a -c solve the halting power -n 1"...
#The later "n" overrides the earlier n, so we only get
#one answer, not three answers.

# We can configure what sites "howdoi" visit to find answers by setting the HOWDOI_URL
# environment variable. We can take advantage of this behavior by defining
# custom "howdoi functions" for different sites on the StackExchange network.

#This is a factory we can use to generate those custom functions.
function howdoi-factory
{
  command=$(printf '%q() { HOWDOI_URL=%q howdoi "$@"; }' "$1" "$2")
  eval $command
}

# Then we generate howdoi functions for the following sites:
# Software Engineering

# Apple
