5 Great Code Search Engines! Comments

Sep13

Search Engines

Happy Programmer Day! Are you still writing your own code or flailing around on Google to find a sample or snippet you need? Well kick back, relax and check out these great tools for finding code. Work smarter not harder!

  1. Krugle: Krugle is very impressive as a code search tool, it adds a touch of social aspect and allows searching for projects and tech pages as well as just code. Added to a large list of languages to search from and more filter options and you get an amazingly useful tool.
  2. Google Code Search: From Google Labs comes the best way to search for code on Google, supports a huge array of languages from Ada to Yacc. Make sure to use the advance search.
  3. Koders: The Koders about page claims the site is the leader in code search. A neat interface on the main page offers quick language and license search options on another long list choices. While not my favorite of the bunch I can certainly see how it’s the leader.
  4. O’Reilly Code Search: Search all the code examples from the O’Reilly books. I love O’Reilly books and they do a great job with the code examples. This is an excellent place to look for straightforward solutions to common problems.
  5. UCodit: Still in beta and worth keeping an eye on, the search and results display is very nice, but the lack of filtering on the search is a real problem.

  • Krugle is the best. One thing about koders you state that "A neat interface on the main page" which is true but after that page its a complete mess especially on the code page. Good work.

    Excellent information, I hope this will save my time instead of everytime referring for syntax from books or general google search.

    David, thanks for noticing Krugle. They are definitely worth keeping an eye on. AltSearchEngines just did a walk-through with them that you might find interesting.
