Google Code Search

Good coders borrow. Great coders steal. Google Code Search, originally developed as an internal tool to search their volumes of source code, has been expanded to include many major open-source repositories, and released via Google Labs. Who knows what lurks in the heart of cvs?

The ego search doesn't show off the real boon here: the ability to search for funky-ass symbols like the kind of shit that Perl makes you use.

I wish it would let you restrict searches to comments. That would be a lot more useful.

Meh. That's just because Visual Studio automatically inserts a "linux sucks" comment every 3 lines of code...

Wow. That's pretty terrible, actually.

Yep. If you need me, I'll be auditing my file server and SVN repos....

More passwords
Arguably, it's the author's fault for checking that into a public repository, but still...

I searched for my name. Vanity of course. And stumbled across a customer database that had been dumped to mysql. Looks like it is full of customer email addresses and (hashed) passwords.

How might one protect one's WordPress config files from Google?

And Google lops over into another niche business, dealing the dreams of small guys another death blow.

eustacescrubb: make sure you have security setup properly on your machine, particuarily wp-config.php. If you don't know how, ask your sysadmin.
Here's a nice intro on the shell and permissions. I think the common advice is to chmod wp-config.php 0666 - but I'm not sure how safe this is if you are on a shared host. It will definitely keep out google, though.

It really bothers me how excited people are getting about this announcement by Google when there are already several other sites that do this exact same thing. Krugle is one of them. Koders is another. Both of these sites are far better, in my opinion, but nobody is mentioning them.

Evidently the source code to keygens for winzip and other utilities is available there, if any cryptologists were interested in seeing what algorithm they use.

if you don't want Google to acquire/overshadow your product, having it rhyme with "-oogle" is a poor strategy.

You should have made a post about them then. Metafilter can't "get excited" about things that aren't posted.

I'm not sure if I'm more horrified by Wordpress passwords being open, or that idiots are using "password" or even "root" as the passwords.
