This launched today, and looks pretty cool. I've only played around with it so far, not actually used it for code work. It will let you specify language, will search using regular expressions, and even tells you the line number your search results are on.

What do you guys think of it? As soon as you use it for actual work, reply here and let us know how well it did.

I'm curious... did anyone else search for their name? Sticking out tongue

I guess I haven't done enough work in the open source community? Confused

I have to admit, I did the same. I've only written a couple of scripts that I released out into the public domain, but I didn't license them in any way, shape or form. I've long since pulled them from where I had them, and thought I might be able to find them. No such luck.
