## What does Answer Overflow do


#### Index the content of your community

Assuming that a question has been solved in your server and no where else on the internet, let's take a look at a user flow before and after Answer Overflow

| With Answer Overflow                                             | Without Answer Overflow                                                  |
| ---------------------------------------------------------------- | ------------------------------------------------------------------------ |
| 1. Google the question                                           | 1. Google the question                                                   |
| 2. Find the question indexed from your server in Google          | 2. No relevant results found                                             |
| 3. Read the answer to the question                               | 3. Try to find a place to ask the question                               |
| 4. Join the server linked on the question for further discussion | 4. Find a Discord server and join it (if the invite link is still valid) |
|                                                                  | 5. Search in the server you just joined for your question                |
|                                                                  | 6. May or may not get results                                            |
