Search Engine For Coders to Launch

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.'"

Re:Where does it say that Google is launching it?

More accurately -- "the company about to get sued by Google". In fact, Zonk may have just given Google's lawyers Exhibit A on proving "confusingly similar".

Access confidential code!

For example, confidential Novell code. (In case that link doesn't work, search for "StopWatch" in "C#"; there are only two results.)

Will this new site perform such wonders?
