Codase For Seeking Open Source Code
Codase is a new search engine designed to let you seek open source code. It apparently understand code as code, rather than text. If you deal with code, that probably sounds great to you. Check it out, and a few more details below from what they sent:
Codase is a new kind of search service for open source code. Rather than treating code as text, Codase understands programming languages, and treats code as code, the way it's supposed to be. This unique and syntax-aware approach provides the most accurate and detailed search results with fine granularity levels of controls. With Codase, developers can search functions, classes, strings, constants, macros, comments and other programming language constructs.
Codase hosts huge amount of open source codes providing a much better coverage, as it covers codes usually hidden inside compressed files and source control repositories, where general search engines fail to find and index. In addition, Codase only indexes and searches high quality codes with every line of code literally validated and compiled by intelligent and powerful source code analysis engine.
This initial alpha release focuses mainly on Linux C/C++ code. Future releases will address other programming languages and platforms.
