Re: Google Code Search shut down

Hi all,
If you get a chance, check out Code Sight at blackducksoftware.com/
code-sight
. You could index the appropriate vim code for search. You
can put a search box on your site that makes an http request and
receive back html. How many LOCs do you guys have?

In the meantime, we're working to upgrade koders.com to use the Code
Sight search engine (plus a few more features) and the list of
projects from Ohloh. So in the future, you would be able to do a
search against koders.com in a similar way (even including a specific
project in the query) without having to index your code.

what do you think? would this help?

best regards,
Susie
