Google launches code search
Google launches code search as Google labs project.
Google product manager Tom Stocky said the Mountain View, California-based company is set to help programmers sift through billions of lines of computer source code using its familiar search box to uncover snippets of reusable software.
“For a long time it has been sort of an unsolved problem,” said Stocky, a product manager in the developer products group. “It is hard to find references to this sort of data.”
Google has been taking series of initiatives catering to developers like
- Google Summer of Code
- Google Projects
- Project Hosting
This places them in direct competition with http://www.koders.com and http://www.krugle.com/
