A company called Codase Inc. has released the alpha version of a syntax-aware source code search engine, simply called Coadase.
Codase understands programming languages and treats code as code rather than text. The search engine allows developers to search functions, classes, strings, constants, macros, comments and other programming language constructs.
It hosts what the company refers to as a "huge amount" of open source codes, including codes that are hidden in compressed files and source control repositories.
According to a press release, Codase only indexes and searches codes in which every line is validated and compiled by an intelligent and powerful source code analysis engine.
For this alpha version, the only languages that Codase covers are Linux C/C++ and Java, but the company says that other languages will be available in future releases.
