Krugle Updates Enterprise Code Search


Krugle Enterprise 2.0 now handles SCM of all sorts

By Alex Handy
February 13, 2008 — 
Krugle has not been frugal with its code search.

Amid the Web 2.0 hype, the site now known as Krugle.org commanded quite the code search following, thanks to an Eclipse plug-in and a large selection of languages. The company has been boxing this up as an appliance and selling it to enterprises for about US$25,000 a year. Yesterday,This month, Krugle released a version 2.0 updated to the Krugle Enterprise search appliance to version 2.0.

For the second time out of the gate, Krugle has reworked its methods of interfacing with SCM systems. Krugle Enterprise 2.0 can sift through flat file systems, as well, scanning 50 types of programming languages, including Ada,  C, C/C++, Java, Pascal, Perl and Rexx.

Krugle has discovered a great deal since the first release of the appliance in May. Matt Graney, senior director of product management at Krugle, said that the enterprise team learned quickly about the variety of SCM systems used in the wild.

Searching the Source

“After the initial launch of Krugle Enterprise [1.0], we were really struck by the response from enterprise customers, many of whom had a wide range of SCM systems in play, even some that are notoriously difficult to configure,” said Graney.

To accommodate all those systems, Graney and his team pulled the connective parts of the search engine out into the open, where they could be manipulated with scripts. Krugle could create new connection scripts in Python at the customer's request, he said, or customers could write their own in any appropriate language.

“We know that all of our customers have a little bit of everything,” Graney said. “Even if we take [Rational] ClearCase as an example, it's widely deployed—probably the market leader. But every single instance is different. They've all been tweaked; from customer to customer, and even within some customers, we find each installation is different.”

He continued, “Other systems we're seeing include AccuRev, BitKeeper, and plenty of Subversion and plenty of Perforce. Our customers seem to have everything. All these customers have the same problem, which is being able to find the information wherever it's stored.”
