Google launches search engine for finding source code Specialized search intended to help programmers find code that's publicly available
October 05, 2006 (IDG News Service) -- Google Inc. today debuted a specialized search engine designed to find software source code publicly available on the Web. The code search engine is intended to help professional programmers, hobbyist developers and code enthusiasts with the difficult task of finding source code online, a Google official said. Currently, the general Web search engine Google.com can find links to files with source code, but it doesn't index the lines of code in those files, said Tom Stocky, a Google product manager. In those cases, developers need to download the files to their computers and inspect the code. http://tinyurl.com/ky4y5 http://www.google.com/codesearch I searched for BALR R12,0 and got 7 hits.
