Google Code Search is a free beta product from Google which debuted in Google Labs on October 5, 2006 allowing web users to search for open-source code on the Internet.

Features include the ability to search using operators. These are lang:, package:, license: and file:.

The code available for searching is in various formats including tar.gz, .tar.bz2, .tar, and .zip, and CVS and Subversion repositories.

The site allows the use of regular expressions in queries. The methodology employed has not been disclosed by Google, but appears to have combined precomputed indices with a POSIX compliant regular expression engine.
