Thank you for your interest and comments. The Koders team is in the process of re-implementing the code behind Koders.com. Please don’t draw too many conclusions about the future functionality of Koders by experimenting with the current one. Here’s some feedback on a few of the comments.
Why we are moving from .NET to Java technology is easily addressed: the .NET implementation was built by a company we acquired; we are a Java shop. We can invest in and expand the code search engine and site more effectively using technologies familiar to our developers.
We haven’t yet upgraded Koders to the latest software version. But we’ve done quite a lot of work beyond just a vanilla language port. For example, search results will be filterable to a single (or multiple) projects as mentioned in one of the comments and by language(s) as mentioned in another. We have noted the feedback regarding duplicate results, underscores, quoted searches, etc. and will put these in our backlog.
In preparation for the debut of the new Koders, we are currently doing scalability testing to ensure that performance of the re-launched site is up to par. We will index a lot more code than is currently there. Our test instance is now running with more than 7 billion LOCs in-house, about 2x the size of the current Koders.com index.
If you’d like to download and try the Java-based implementation that will be deployed to power the new Koders, it’s at http://www.blackducksoftware.com/java_implementation_download/ http://www.blackducksoftware.com/java_implementation_downloa... .
We look forward to making this a great code search resource. Again, thank you for your interest!!
