+Lately I've been trying to find a good book on Python, but I haven't had time to get to a bookstore and actually browse through the many similar offerings, which is what makes [Codefetch][2] invaluable. Codefetch is a search engine that lets you search inside programming books for phrases, words, or bits of code.
+Codefetch has been around for a while, we even mentioned briefly in [an article last year][1] on Wired.com, but this is the first time I've actually tested it.
+Codefetch lets you search by language (22 options) and supports a healthy amount of regular expression operators. There's also an option to search literal which means you can match programatic expressions, spaces and all.
+Results are displayed with your terms highlighted and showing the chunks of code were your search terms appear. At the top of each booking listing is a link to purchase the book from Amazon (which is how Codefetch generates some revenue).
+There may well be a way to perform this kind of search using the tools on Amazon, but I'm not aware of it. An entry on the [Codefetch blog][3] claims the site has considerably better search results than O'Reilly's paid Safari service.
+A word of warning, Codefetch made the front page of Digg this morning and was running somewhat slow.
