Ionide-vscode-fsharp: Integrate fsdn.azurewebsites.net as command

[enricosada]

the http://fsdn.azurewebsites.net/ website is awesome to search for stuff

Proposed

BASIC a command F#: FSDN who open a searchbox, and results as list.

BEST: integrated as command, like intellisense, based on current type for input

let x = [1;2;3] //x is an 'int list'

right click on x -> FSDN, and use type of x as input, and in search box just the expected return type.

I'd like to claim this issue for the FSharp Foundation mentorship project.

Sounds good to me!

I'm trying to build the project but cannot seem to succeed on multiple systems. https://ci.appveyor.com/project/alanmbarr/ionide-vscode-fsharp/build/1.0.4
I keep getting a git tag error? Any suggestions?

Seems like I can build now with latest commits. Thank you!

this is hoogle (haskell similar to fsdn) integration

I had highlighted zip, then shift option h would show this:

@alanmbarr if is not too much work, as suggestion, can you please do the logic inside https://github.com/fsharp/FsAutoComplete/ ? so an additional request + list in FSAC, and ionide call that.

that will help other editors too, who need to just call the new command, and integration is slim. Plus side, you get a simple integration framework to add tests in FSAC.
If you want, i can help you showing the FSAC codebase and where add things, just tell me.

Sounds good, if it is not too much work can you add an issue in the FSAC backlog with notes on where you want things added?
