This is getting off topic but as you James saw fit to advertise his package
(as he should, it is clearly helpful to some, himself included), here are my
$0.02 of why it is not for me:

Yes that's been around for a while, but codesearch.google.com was still
better and is missed. One of the other code aggregators that (AFAIK is also
gone now) had a different search engine too.
This whole thread is highly off-tocpic and likely answered by some SO answers
as has bee pointed out as well as possibly some discussions in the r-sig-hpc
list (which is mostly dormant these days).
