Topic: theorem search
Bhakti Shah (Jul 05 2023 at 14:32):
is there an equivalent to Coq's Search
or something like hoogle that lets you look up a theorem by structure or type? Not familiar enough with conventions to know where to look in the docs / what names to expect. I saw something about library_search
somewhere but I haven't been able to find anything actually documenting it.

Library search is now called exact?
; there's also apply?
for theorems that make progress but don't fully solve the goal
Bhakti Shah (Jul 05 2023 at 14:48):
that is super helpful thank you :) is there a way i can use this outside of an active proof? like if I just want to look something up that isn't in my current goal context.
Martin Dvořák (Jul 05 2023 at 14:55):
You can specify arbitrary goal using have
inside a proof or using example
outside of a proof.

There is also the #find
command that allows you to look up theorems and definitions by type. Some examples of its usage are here.
