Google launches code search

Filed under: add to del.icio.us

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/
