ABSTRACT
We present Sourcerer, a search engine for open-source code. Sourcerer extracts fine-grained structural information from the code and stores it in a relational model. This information is used to implement a basic notion of CodeRank and to enable search forms that go beyond conventional keyword-based searches.

Recommendations
Sourcerer: An infrastructure for large-scale collection and analysis of open-source code
A large amount of open source code is now available online, presenting a great potential resource for software developers. This has motivated software engineering researchers to develop tools and techniques to allow developers to reap the benefits of ...
Sourcerer: An internet-scale software repository
SUITE '09: Proceedings of the 2009 ICSE Workshop on Search-Driven Development-Users, Infrastructure, Tools and EvaluationVast quantities of open source code are now available online, presenting a great potential resource for software developers. Yet the current generation of open source code search engines fail to take advantage of the rich structural information contained ...
Spotting working code examples
ICSE 2014: Proceedings of the 36th International Conference on Software EngineeringWorking code examples are useful resources for pragmatic reuse in software development. A working code example provides a solution to a specific programming problem. Earlier studies have shown that existing code search engines are not successful in ...
