Yahoo gets code search

Krugle has begun providing code-searching for the Yahoo Developer Network.

The network stores APIs and Web services for Yahoo Web properties such as Flickr, del.icio.us and Yahoo Maps, Krugle said on Wednesday. Through its deal with Krugle, Yahoo's network can leverage the Krugle search engine and interface enabling developers working with Yahoo APIs and data to share code written in six languages: ActionScript, JavaScript, .Net, PHP (Hypertext Preprocessor), Python and Ruby.

Contextual information, such as documentation and bug reports, also will be provided. Krugle crawls, parses and indexes code in public repositories as well as approved private repositories, forums, blogs and Web pages.

Web developers looking for APIs and scripting information have become one of Krugle's largest user bases and the arrangement with Yahoo builds on that relationship, Krugle said.

Yahoo Developer Network features Web services and APIs intended to make it easy for developers to build applications and mashups that integrate data sources and make the Web more useful, according to the network's Web site.
