If you are a software developer or a programmer, there are times that you might turn to the world wide web to search a piece of code. Most of the time, there will be resources with good explanations and a good example along with it. But sometime probably you are not so lucky. Some codes are to specific or too new that there are hardly any people using it or document it on the web.
If you in this position, you probably want to try Google Code Search. At first I do not know whether I may one day be using it or not, but when I have to debug codes that are not your “every-day average” codes, Google Search Code indeed become helpful.
When using normal search, most of what you can find is just the definition and definitions. No real applicable example of the code usage. So having this utility might help you to find what you are looking for quickly.
