Search Engine For Coders to Launch

Posted by Zonk on 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.'"

    This is not done by Google.
    Read the article!

  2. NOT google by MyNymWasTaken · · Score: -1, Redundant

    The google part is simply hyperbole thrown in by some journalist.

    Krugle (created by Ken Krugler - notice the name?) is in no way, shape or form affiliated with Google.

  3. Nothing to do with Google by spookymonster · · Score: 0, Redundant

    Krugle is a sound-alike/llok-alike startup business with no apparent relationship with google.

      ...Except the forthcoming trademark violation suit :)

  4. Will it include documentation or just source code? by Kasracer · · Score: 0, Redundant

    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.

    I'm sorry, i can't find anything on Krugle.com or in the Wired article that states that Google has anything to do with this.

      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.

      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.

    Check the article and the website. This project is not affiliated with Google in any way I could tell.

    Krugle is retarded. It's like all the bazillion other projects that get shut down because of dumbasses thinking they can use the names of existing companies. I mean the whole point of trademark law is to prevent someone else from capitalizing on your name recognition. Which is exactly what Krugle is doing.

    Idiots! The company is just some startup run by moronic kids.

    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.
