Code Search
Not being a coder by trade, I can’t completely appreciate the value of this. However, I’m married to one of those programmer guys and he can certainly appreciate the value.
Krugle is a new search engine. However, it is different from Google or Yahoo. Krugle is a search engine for open source code. I don’t think there is a limit on the kind of code – whether you’re stalled because you’re missing a piece of Java or you can’t figure out a piece of PHP, I imagine you could find what you need on Krugle.
It’s a fascinating idea – organizing and linking to the world’s pieces of open source code. Suddenly code that is useful, but had been hidden, is now easy to find. Krugle also allows you to search for code-related technical information so that you can find the answer to that nagging question. I think the most interesting thing is the ability to save and annotate your findings. It’s the search engine taken to Web 2.0 and it’s a great idea.
As you proceed through a search session, Krugle creates tabbed “pages” for each result viewed, whether code, web pages or other documents. This makes
flipping back and forth between code and related information easy.
Krugle also lets you add your own comments to entire code files or specific lines of code, allowing for useful code-centric communication between developers.
So if you’re a programmer, you might want to check out Krugle.
