- dmit 15y agoTake a look at https://code.google.com/p/codesearch/ https://code.google.com/p/codesearch/.
- 4ad 15y agoYes, Russ Cox's codesearch is great, I use it to search in around ~50 millions lines of code. A query is so fast I never bothered to measure it, and reindexing the whole thing only takes a minute or two on a 5 year old laptop. It's so fast I reindex everything at every shell login.
- sciurus 15y agoI started using ack from http://betterthangrep.com http://betterthangrep.com recently and like it a lot. There are even more tools listed at http://betterthangrep.com/more-tools/ http://betterthangrep.com/more-tools/
- koenigdavidmj 15y agoI use ack as well, but I am working on a multi-gigabyte codebase at work and it's time to look for a tool with indexing.
