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!
