[go-nuts] [ANN] go-search.org: Go Code Search Engine, find the package you should import.

David--

Cool app, I like the easy way it is easy to add items. Two points:

#1. What is the license? I can't touch it without a license. MIT or BSD
would be awesome.

#2. Are you interested in a mirroring protocol / service so other services
could sync / share / be backups of yours?

I'll add license. I prefer BSD.

I'm going to provide a json api for fetching package list and package
information.

I add some css to make the site more responsive for mobiles.

  Very useful! Instructive to put in something common like 'mysql' and see
the thousand flowers bloom!

I've come to really appreciate the Go build/packaging system but it does
result in proper names being part of package names. So this will help a
person find the most popular fork. I remember with even something
relatively uncommon like Lua bindings there were almost 17 forks, so of
course I added another one ;) Then I found that Alessandro Arzilli was
serious about maintaining his fork and then the rest was simple.

Utlimately the hope is for Darwinian evolution - there has to be a 'fitness
function' to determine what mutations to choose...

Useful app! But if it searches only package description and not the code, I
consider name little bit misleading.. ATM unavailable, no way to verify it.

The aim of the project is to help people find the code to use(import).
Currently, only package description, name and readme are indexed. But in my
near future plan, exported types/funcs will be analyzed and some important
types/funcs, as well as their comments, will be indexed, too.

UPDATE:


    - On the right bottom of the detail page(e.g.
    http://go-search.org/view?id=github.com%2fdaviddengcn%2fgcse ), the
    static rank over all packages is shown.

    - The about <http://go-search.org/about> page, in which I write the *motivation
    *of this project, is revised by Robert Melton<https://github.com/robertmeta>,
    thanks to him.
    - Ranking is optimized: static-ranking, and IDF for multi-term matching

UPDATE: GCSE API

#gcse now provides data with json/jsonp. One can programmatically fetch the
data, show on his own page.

Currently, package details and top tables supported. Go to the API page for
details. (http://go-search.org/infoapi/ )

Use them smartly, #golang guys!
