Google Code Search

05 October 2006 - Google is trying out a new search service designed to make it easier for computer programmers to find bits of code online.
Google Code Search will make it easier for software developers to find programming code directly, without having to trawl through groups, forums, and discussions to find it.
The idea of releasing this specialised search engine came from Google engineers themselves, who use similar code searching tools internally when developing Google software.
The search engine is aimed at both professional programmers and students or IT enthusiasts who want to improve their coding and software development. “Most of the code is open source so you can reuse it. But I don’t think that’s the primary use – it’s more about how to learn about things and, when you’re building open-source packages, to make sure you’re doing it the right way”, said Tom Stocky, a Google product manager.
The search also allows programmers to look for specific coding terms, restrict the search to certain computer languages, or look for bits of code that fall under a specified licensing agreement.

That is very cool indeed, I saw it the other day.

Awesome!!! I have bookmarked it and am looking forward to being able to find things more easily! Thank you!
Yeah that is nice. I actually added it to a default home page I made with a link to a lot of the sites I use and/or run. I have the search box up top and in the middle so I can do a quick search if necessary. Very nice feature.

That will be save programmers for a long search for some desired code and will be a great help from giant google !
