Here's a Reuter's article on the new feature from Google: http://news.yahoo.com/s/nm/20061005/wr_nm/google_code_dc_2 .

From the article:

Quote:
Google searches through code repositories that are popular among programmers -- CollabNet's Subversion and another alternative called CVS, Stocky said.

The service began as a way for Google programmers to search through internal company code. It added a search of publicly available code and recently Google decided it might as well open up the service to others.

Perhaps the Gallery2 team could investigate whether there are ways to leverage this code search feature to help Gallery2 users find examples of code and track down module/block/template/etc. references that are always so vexing to find.

Here's the direct link to Google Code Search: http://www.google.com/codesearch

Hope it's a useful reference!
