Sando Code Search Tool

Like grep, except with near-instant results, instant feedback via auto-complete, and a streamlined UI.

Features

• Searches source code (C#, C++, C, xaml, and any text file) using information retrieval technology
• Pre-indexes source code to provide near-instant searches
• Indexes source code once, refreshing only changed files, to avoid unnecessary CPU burden
• Supports literal searches (e.g., "File f = new File();"), symbol searches (e.g., "_fileDialogTab"), and google-style searches (e.g., "open file")
• Provides extensive preview of search results with highlighted search terms
• Auto-completion suggests likely query additions (e.g., "open" -> "open file")
• Auto-corrects spelling (e.g., "solutoin" -> "solution")
• Auto-recommendation suggests similar words if search term doesn't exist in the source code base (e.g., "fire event" -> "raise event")

Supported Languages: C#, C++, C, xaml, and any language as plain text.
