Search Engine For Coders to Launch

Posted by Zonk on Friday February 17, 2006 @08:55AM from the sounds-codetacular dept.

karvind writes "According to Wired, 'Krugle' is set to next month. The search engine indexes programming code and documentation from open-source repositories like SourceForge, and includes corporate sites for programmers like the Sun Developer Network. The index will contain between 3 and 5 terabytes of code by the time the engine launches in March. According to article, Krugle also contains intelligence to help it parse code and to differentiate programming languages, so a PHP developer could search for a website-registration system written in PHP simply by typing 'PHP registration system.'"

There is already a pretty big repository that is easily searchable:

  http://www.codefetch.com/ searches a very useful collection of code: the source code from programming books.
  
  Neither koders nor krugle cover that, plus codefetch searches the api of several languages, java, ruby, php, for example.

Never learn by your mistakes, if you do you may never dare to try again
