- mdwrigh2 13y agoThat's not actually the codebase for code search though -- it's a re-implementation of it done in the original authors new language.
- Mindless2112 13y agoThat's my point though: just because a retired product is heavily tied to Google's infrastructure doesn't mean that they couldn't release something useful out of it.
