Thanks. I am working on the SEO, I will move over to searchcode.com in the next few weeks. As for your query... yes it actually searches for the quotes. Something like =~ is a valid search in it. I am in the process of building characteristics to define technology types. This will allow you to do something like the following with any luck, def reverse tech:django lang:python url:github IE search for the text "def reverse" in a django file which is python and hosted on github. BTW the tech: portion is not live yet. Still a work in progress :)

If I'm not mistaken, that will search for the keywords "def" and "reverse" in the file, which isn't exactly the same. They'll be included in many places, whereas I want the definition of reverse.

  It does, but its very phrase heavy and will try to match "def reverse" literally over "def" and "reverse". Where no matches are found it falls back to the latter though. See, http://searchco.de/?q=def+reverse http://searchco.de/?q=def+reverse as an example

    Oh I see, I didn't notice it was finding projects that were using Django, rather than search the Django repository itself. It would be great if you could specify the repository name.

      Actually that's supported too, http://searchco.de/?q=def+reverse+repo%3Adjango http://searchco.de/?q=def+reverse+repo%3Adjango restricted to bitbucket, http://searchco.de/?q=def+reverse+repo%3Adjango+url%3Abitbucket http://searchco.de/?q=def+reverse+repo%3Adjango+url%3Abitbuc... or github http://searchco.de/?q=def+reverse+repo%3Adjango+url%3Agithub http://searchco.de/?q=def+reverse+repo%3Adjango+url%3Agithub

        Oh very nice, the links find the desired file immediately. Fantastic, thank you, this is now an alias for me.

Have you considered just having a separate box that handles non-literal metadata queries? That way the user doesn't have to think about your typology --- they just type words in a box like they're used to from Google. I like the idea of this a lot by the way. I hope to find use for it.

  Sorry about the late reply. I have considered it, but im trying to make most of it clickable filters on the right hand side which know what you are doing. I have more to add but havent gotten around to it yet is all.
