@some guy. I did not know about this search. It’s a tad slow, but seems to actually give relevant results. Thanks!

@jmdesp that’s an interesting idea.

The bugzilla against github discussion showed there is a problem with the speed of searching for issues inside bugzilla, so that’s another context where re2 could be useful.

What about http://code.ohloh.net for searching choose of open source projects.
And it its not limited to github.

Thanks for the update, dxr.mozilla.org is supposed to be updated with a daily build from releng.
But apparently the link changed and somewhere in mess I call an inbox that message got lost.

Anyways, it’s fixed now, and should continue to get fresh build once a day.

Sounds cool, but right now the biggest problem with dxr.mozilla.org is that it’s far out of date. Currently it’s at revision 3199bc043da4 (August 9).
