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.'"

This is not done by Google.
Read the article!
Krugle is a sound-alike/llok-alike startup business with no apparent relationship with google.
- Despite popular opinion, I am not perfect.
Documentation would be more useful to me. If it only contains source code... well I can see lots of people using it for homework and copying and pasting. That or people who like to rip components from other applications for their app.
Offtopic?? Did you even read the post, let alone the article?
According to Wired, Google is going to launch Krugle next month.
No. Wired does not say that. Krugle does not say that. I read the krugle site, I searched the krugle blog. It's just not true.
To be fair, it's clear that the poster didn't read the article either.
You might want to try http://www.koders.com/, you can search by license. Plus, its free.
What are the odds that some idiot will name his mutex ether-rot-mutex!
This page is not related to google as far as I can tell. Did a whois search and it doesn't even use google's name servers, not to mention different address info.
"brix_zx2, What is your sole purpose in this forum!?!?!"
"To do whatever you tell me MODERATOR!!!!"
That's not what's going on here. The post (before it was 'edited for accuracy') claimed that google was launching krugle, not just that krugle was like google.
