on Nov 29th, 2006Krugle code search
Ok, so we have a bunch of startups on code searching, all in the onset of Googles very own version. Now we have krugle, a code search engine. Techcrunch reports that the open source search engine Nutch is handling the backend. I like this site for a variety of reasons, one of the main being, I can see code. Weh you search for terms you do see code in the search page. Apart from this the top bar has two distinct features, techpages , which shows pages related to the term that is searched and also Projects, which shows projects related to the search term that you are working on. To see a sample, i searched for WordPress and yes i could see certain wordpress hacks, techpages showed me relevant pages on wordpress and best of all projects showed me plugins to wordpress and similar products. Really cool, definetely a great place to check out the alternatives to a product or a service. So you want a “email component or java”, run it on krugle and see for yourself
