Detecting an error message and automatically presenting links to relevant solution pages

A server comprising:

• one or more processors;
• and
• one or more non-transitory computer readable media storing instructions executable by the one or more processors to perform operations comprising:
• receiving, from a computing device, an error message generated by an executable file that is being executed by the computing device;
• parsing the error message;
• extracting, based at least in part on the parsing, keywords from the error message;
• creating, based at least in part on the keywords from the error message, a search query;
• performing a search of one or more resources comprising at least one of a knowledgebase or a forum;
• receiving one or more search results associated with the search query;
• ranking the one or more search results based on one or more criteria to create ranked results, wherein a particular result of the ranked results comprises:
• a link to a page that includes a potential solution to an error that caused the error message to be generated;
• and
• a rank identifying a relevancy of the potential solution to the error;
• and
• sending the ranked results to the computing device.

One or more non-transitory computer readable media storing instructions executable by one or more processors to perform operations comprising:

• receiving an instruction to execute, using the one or more processors, an executable file;
• executing the executable file;
• determining that an error message was generated in response to executing the executable file;
• sending the error message to a server;
• receiving a response from the server that includes ranked results, wherein a particular result of the ranked results comprises:
• a link to a page that includes information associated with the error message;
• and
• a rank identifying a relevancy of the information to the error message;
• displaying at least a portion of the ranked results;
• receiving a selection of a particular ranked result of the ranked results;
• navigating, based on a particular link associated with the particular ranked result, to a browser to the page that includes the information associated with the error;
• opening a source code file in an editing application;
• and
• automatically performing a modification to contents of the source code file to create modified source code, the modification based on the information associated with the error.
