Search Engine for Code

If you write code, you have to check out Krugle! It’s a search engine for code. Let’s take it for a test drive.

  1. Go to http://www.krugle.com/
  2. In the Search box enter Activator.CreateInstance
  3. Select C# as the language
  4. Click the search button.

Pretty cool. But wait, there’s more!

  1. Click on the ActivatorFactory.cs from the Apache ibatis project. This came up as the first result when I searched.
  2. You’ll see a tab open, that contains the source file, and a tree view of all the files in the project on the right. It would be even better if the code was syntax highlighted.
  3. From there you can save the file locally, or browse the project in the tree view.
