Codase, Inc., a leading source code search company,
announced today the release of the alpha version of
its advanced source code search service, with the
service being made immediately available through its
website, http://www.codase.com.
Codase is a new kind of search service for open source
code. Rather than treating code as text, Codase
understands programming languages, and treats code as
code, the way it's supposed to be. This unique and
syntax-aware approach provides the most accurate and
detailed search results with fine granularity levels
of controls. With Codase, developers can search
functions, classes, strings, constants, macros,
comments and other programming language constructs.
Codase hosts huge amount of open source codes
providing a much better coverage, as it covers codes
usually hidden inside compressed files and source
control repositories, where general search engines,
such as Google (goog), Yahoo (yhoo), MSN (msft), Baidu
(bidu) and Ask Jeeves, fail to find and index them. In
addition, Codase only indexes and searches high
quality codes with every line of code literally
validated and compiled by intelligent and powerful
source code analysis engine. This initial alpha
release focuses mainly on Linux C/C++ code. Future
releases will address other programming languages and
platforms.
"Our service represents a major step towards
intelligent and quick retrieval of useful and relevant
information from the massive amount of unstructured
open source codes." said Dr. Huihong Luo, founder of
Codase, "By using our service, developers can fully
take advantage of existing work and thus improve their
own productivity for development."
