  1. Still doesn't understand the code itself by Sembiance · · Score: 2, Insightful · on Finding New Code

    One thing that I find disappointing with all the code search engines is they all treat them as regular text files, more or less.
    None of them seem to make an effort at understanding the code syntax.

    That's why a few years ago I wrote one for C/C++ code called http://csourcesearch.net/

    I just did it as an experiment, and using all open source software and in my spare time, but I think it having the ability to syntactically know the difference between a comment, a function, a structure, etc. makes a big difference.

    When Google launched their engine, I was disappointed they didn't take the extra time needed to make their parser/engine smart.

    You can see the license type broken down here:

    http://csourcesearch.net/license/

    You can also click on any of those licenses and then on that page choose to only search for code found in that license.
