Google does code search

Well it's about time!  After they started hosting source code and projects, I expected to see it happen.  After Krugle came on the scene and did an awesome job of source code search, I expected to see it happen.  I guess it just seems like a no-brainer for company like Google.  They certainly took their time, but the work looks good so far.

They have advanced options to enter search criteria as a regular expression, choice of language, license, packages, filename matching, and case-sensitivity.  It works pretty well.  I don't think that the results are on par with Krugle yet, and the UI definitely is class simplistic Google (read: plain).  It's a start though.  I'll need to keep checking up on it.  It can only get better!
