Ohloh Code Enhances Koders.com Search Technology
September 4, 2012
Big news from Black Duck brought to you by the goose pond: Ohloh has enhanced Koders.com.
Ohloh Code, a publicly available, free code search site, has made it possible for users to immediately browse the code of projects, search for particular methods, and see Ohloh commit and LOC information all in the same place. This is an improvement upon Koders.com, which lacked an automated way to let users add and update projects or view sources and parent projects. An announcement post made on Ohloh, “Ohloh + Code = Ohloh Code,” informs us of the changes:
“The Ohloh Code search database is populated and updated from a new, automated integration with Ohloh’s project list. We’ve rebuilt the code search engine (also available for private code search: Code Sight) as an upgrade from Koders.com. We’ve migrated the entire code base from .NET to Java (our team’s language of choice).[…]
To sum up…
Ohloh (ohloh.net) + Ohloh Code (code.ohloh.net) = our vision to create the most comprehensive and free resource for developers to find and explore open source projects and code.”
We think code searchers will be pleased with Ohloh Code’s results and the enhanced technology. Kudos to the team for integrating more languages, filtering and faceting search results, including preservation of the underscore in search results, and enhancing scalability for indexing and searching. Head on over to Ohloh to learn about more of the changes.
