What kind of code search are you thinking of? In my experience, code search could be useful when one works with a big and unfamiliar code base, but even then good architecture documentation and a good IDE would help more. And when one really needs string search, `git grep` is usually fast enough (for me on a 5GB code base).
- adamnemecek 10y agoIt's not just current code search but like "auto complete". What if my IDE could recognize that I'm writing a bad implementation of binary search and could suggest a better one from the internet. What if I had an SQL like language that I could use to query and transform things. E.g. find all instances where a method starting with "set" that take an Int as an argument and do with these. I've been noticing that quite a bit of writing software would be a lot simpler if I could do this.
