On: Google Killing Off Buzz and Code Search

[chaosmachine]

Google Code Search has been pretty broken (for my use case, anyway) for a while. I build Drupal Code Search[1] on top of their API back in 2008, and a few months later, they stopped indexing code from Drupal.org. Since then, 2 new versions of Drupal (6 and 7) have been released, and none of the new code has been indexed, making my site largely useless except for legacy code searches.

I guess I will just shut it down completely come 2012, I don't have any way to do grep-style searches at the same speed Google's API could.

Was it broken in some way other than it didn't index drupal.org?

Drupal.org most likely was not the only site they no longer indexed. Probably no code site was still being indexed, at all.
