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.
