Low Search docs not searchable?
was having an issue with low_search_query_string and wondering about the difference between that and low_keywords. a search feature would have been most helpful! also, more examples please!

{low_search_query_string} is only available when using GET variables instead of an encoded query. It contains the entire query string (eg. ?keywords=hello+world).
{low_keywords} doesn't exist. You probably mean {low_search_keywords}. This contains the string a user entered in the keywords input field, used by the Keywords filter. This goes for both encoded queries as for non-encoded GET query strings.
I guess a search function in the docs could be helpful. I'll look into it. For now, you could easily use a targeted Google search, for example site:gotolow.com query string
Providing examples for every situation is hard. What kind of examples were you thinking of?

low_search_keywords yes, thank you. I managed to figure it out.
as far as examples, I think developers must often think "oh, that's too obvious, no example needed" when the most basic and typical functions are precisely those that I'd love to see examples for. so, real world, typical use cases are the most valuable for me. then I'm able to see ok, these are the most important elements. like a quick start. get me up and running and successful with your add-on in the shortest amount of time.
thanks for the quick reply!
