# Polybius

Polybius is a Discord bot which searches for (and displays) queries
in any message. Although primarily used to search Wowhead entries, it
is modular and extensible to use different sites (with the suitable
scraping logic).

**To look up a query** (default settings), simply surround the query
inside double-square brackets, `[[like so]]`.
