Thanks for the search engines.
I believe that this top 10 is good, perhaps lack http://www.koders.com
You are absolutely right. I forgot “koders” somehow. I use it also.
Thanks for reminding.
thanks for refreshing.
How do you actually use these search engines? I never found them useful…
I use these all the time.
I am curious: What exactly do you use code search engines for? Humour me — I just cannot imagine any productive use for it…
Not really code search, but find everything that is open source: http://opensource.ankerl.com/
You got great list here
Thanks for sharing, mate!
King regards!
Nix
This remind me of planetsourcecode

Thanks a lot! This is very useful!
Lol, Nice Work…
It’s good to know more alternatives to make searches…
Very nice
Very useful and handy list. Bookmarked!
nice
Krugle is a very good search engine. I found some really useful php code.
I have never been a fan of code search engines.
Nice and informative article…
Cool, only knew about Google Code search!
Thanks
Good stuff here, i use these a lot.
I also prefer Codeproject.com for searching codes.
Its in fact huge collection of codes.
This is great. Being able to find code snippets or code examples is such a time saver.
Uhh…why does anybody need 10 or 3 or even 2 search sites? At least explain wth these different sites do.
What a great shortcut, thanks Cavdar
I am a basic googler, love the dorks so well. but yeah Snipplr is also a gr8 providance… and one must try it..
Btw nice article mate..
Nice one, keep it up

good!
Most of this search engines don’t exist anymore. Among the ones that still work only google and koders are decent. But it’s not your fault, I don’t think that right now there any engine that can closely match those two.. =(
Google Code search is old and needs some updating
A local search engine, really intended to help you find your way around in *your* world as opposed to the internet, is
http://www.semanticdesigns.com/Products/SearchEngine/index.html
Useful when you have more code than your IDE conveniently supports, typically million line systems.
Understands langauge syntax, breaks files into langauge-specific tokens (identifiers, strings, numbers, comments, keywords, operators) and indexes all of them. A query
language allows you find code in your language that matches a pattern. If you have multiple languages, will match identifiers from all of them if you desire.
Nice job!!!…Keep up the work
How can u use these search engines..
I dont feel this useful..
Thanks for the info there, definitely useful. Even though I really only use Google, good to have the others onboard too.
A code search engine for python
http://code.feicall.com
It understands python and can find method calls that no one else can find, like wx.Dialog.SetSizer.
I am using linkwheel.in for my search engine optimization services and I am very happy with their service and the good ranking result for my websites.
Bookmarked for future searches.
Thank you
hello, this is really great work. these sites are very help for developers to find and code. these sites are reduce developers work and save time. the author has to reveal more sites like this i aspire.
Check out http://www.finditez.com . Includes a Google Code Search toolbar / add-on for Visual Studio.
Perhaps Koders.com is my favourite best Code Search engine.
Specialy For Delphi Programers,easily find snipets for directly use in projects..
Sell SEX TOYS ON http://www.sefu.com SEX TOYS
nice site you got here ill be sure to bookmark it and tell all my friends.
thx delphine.
Thank you. I’ve been using google to search code-snippets for a couple of years now. How come that I didn’t now of there beforehand. Super article.
Thanks so much !!!
We’re welcome.
Google code search is closing its doors on January 15, 2012. Unfortunately, because it uses proprietary search algorithms, Google can’t release any of it, so it will just go away. http://Googlecode.com is taking over search for their projects, and a couple other options were mentioned, including:
http://koders.com/
http://grepcode.com/
http://www.antepedia.com
Thanks for the info.
Very helpful list! The one i knew was sourceforge, but now i know some more.
Thanks for sharing mate!
You’re welcome.
Hi there, maybe you like the C# and VB.NET Code searcher I have written? It’s on CodeProject: http://www.codeproject.com/Articles/416472/Csharp-and-VB-NET-Code-Searcher-Using-Roslyn
It’s more “intelligent” with the sourcecode. For example, you can search for methods or properties with a certain name, or search in the method text, or search for calls to a certain method.
I have to add that it is only for searching locally, in your own sourcecode, or sourcecode that’s on your hard drive.
good working sites
Good list, I hadn’t heard of some of those. You should also check out http://findthatcode.com
