Code Search - O’Reilly Labs

September 25th, 2006

codesearch.gifO’Reilly published a new Search Engine that searches through all the code examples from 700 O’Reilly books. The database currently contains over 123,000 individual examples, composed of 2.6 million lines of code - all edited and ready to use.

I have been using similar services to look up PHP snippets. Usually I start at php.net and if I can’t find it there I copy paste some half baked code into Google and see what that leads to. Often I end up with a few different versions of what I need within seconds and pick the one I actually understand. MashDevelopment?

Anyway, I look forward to test Code Search and wonder if it will speed up things.
