Wired has [previously covered Krugle][3] about this time last year when it launched and, for my money, it's still the best code search engine out there. - -The new search engine in the Yahoo Developer Network site integrates most of the features of Krugle into the home page. In fact from the looks of it, Yahoo pretty much just added their logo and otherwise the layout and design of the site is nearly identical to the Krugle homepage. - -The really nice thing about Krugle is that, unlike many code search engines, you can search code, tech pages or projects. Even better, within a code based search you can specify that the search terms should appear in comments, code, function call, function definition, class definition or all of the above. This kind of fine grained filtering makes it much easier to find exactly what you want. - -The results on Yahoo's new Krugle integrated search match those of the main Krugle site (see example screenshot below) and the search is lightening fast. Apparently Yahoo Developer Network launched before the Krugle folks had time to index Yahoo's own documentation and code, but that oversight is expected to be fixed soon. If you have other suggestions or features you'd like to see, Yahoo is [soliciting feedback][6]. - -I find it interesting that code search is such a hot vertical market -- it seems that every week there's a new code search engine popping up. We recently [looked at AllTheCode][4] and I found [this post][5] on the Krugle blog that lists fifteen other code search engines. - -As a some time developer myself it's nice to have so many options but I can't help wishing a Krugle for blog searches would pop up, neither Technorati nor Google Blog Search have ever impressed me. - -I'd hardly be original if suggested that vertical search is the future of the internet. I have no doubt that a generalized Google search will always be useful for some, but increasingly, to really find quality results, you need to narrow your searching pool. Searching a subset of the web -- Code, Blogs, News, Medical, etc -- is in the end perhaps the only way to make sense of it. - -[1]: http://www.krugle.com/ "Krugle Code Search" -[2]: http://ydn.krugle.com/ "Yahoo Developer Network Code Search" -[3]: http://www.wired.com/news/technology/0,70219-0.html "Here Comes a Google for Coders" -[4]: http://blog.wired.com/monkeybites/2007/02/allthecode_a_se.html "AllTheCode: A Search Engine For Programmers" -[5]: http://blog.krugle.com/?p=223 "A bushel of code search engines" -[6]: http://suggestions.yahoo.com/?prop=ydn "Yahoo Developer Network Suggestions"
