When less is less: google code dead

When Steve Jobs given some suggestions to Google, I fear he was still upset for the Android-carbon-copy of the iPhone. Because Jobs suggested Google to focus on a small subset of product (no more then five) and Google did it. And google started killing a lot of lab projects.

Google Code Search was one of this projects.

Today I hit this nice article on how google code search was implemented, and I find it very nice. So I'd like to point it out, because it is a worth read with also an implementation attached to it.

I like to know if there is a Redis+{Ruby|Python|Java} code which is able to store a inverted tri-gram index on redis, because it would be a nice shot.

Someone out of there can help?

You may have some luck with github's code search (fairly basic, as you can see here: https://github.com/search) or with koders.com

Good luck :)
