Sando: A Fast Local Code Search Engine with Open APIs
Code search sucks. There's no auto-correct or suggestions and results are returned as an unranked, plain-text list. This VS Extension aims to make code search a modern tool by leveraging Lucene to index and search all languages and artifacts, returning results in a rich UI.

Code Search Sucks

Top Ten Things that Suck about Code Search:

  1. Unranked results
  2. No suggestions
  3. No auto-correct
  4. No fuzzy matching
  5. No word stemming
  6. Results returned as plain-text
  7. Indexes keywords like "using"
  8. No preview in results
  9. Hard to refine results
  10. Regular expressions are fragile
