## Group Explorer
The Group Explorer is a directory for public groups, which will allow users to discover groups based on very refined criteria. Users have the option to search a directory of Groups with a keyword and sort the list by Group Name, Member Count, and by those Nearest to them. Keep in mind, only publicly visible Groups will be displayed.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.
Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:
```
GET https://hylozoic.gitbook.io/hylo/guides/hylo-user-guide/the-commons.md?ask=&goal=
```
`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.
The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.
Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
