When I need to search a code in the web, I usually used Google web search or Google Code Search.

Yesterday I found a great code search engine – Krugle.

Krugle has great AJAX interface, tabs that allow you to open more search results in the same page, syntax highlighting and an easy way to browse within a project directory. Krugle also has a search engine for tech articles and documentations.

Another great utility from Krugle is that you can search on specific code features such as function calls, function definitions, class definitions and comments.

However, Krugle’s disadvantage (when compare it with Google Code Search) is that Krugle has a less comprehensive index and doesn’t support regular expressions for queries.

It took me long enough, but finally I’m using Google Apps For Domains.

I’ve started using their free service (2 GB Email. with your own domain name) and have moved all of my current emailing aliases into that email service.

As you probably know, the spam filtering is awesome and the search capabilities are, well, Googlishious. No more need to pay for hosting or spam filtering!

I like the email web interface but do not forget: I can access my emails with pop3 from outlook, so no problem getting a “hard copy” of my emails offline.

My Calendar also hosted at google, so I’m all set.

Google docs looks amazing!

Navigation

The new home page has a sidebar that lets you filter the documents by tag (renamed to folder in the interface), by type or by collaborator. You can now see all your files by default, not only the documents or spreadsheets active in the last 30 days.
The folders can now have descriptions and you can send a document to a folder by using drag and drop!

Sorting

Google removed the option to sort the files by name or author, so the only available sort option is by date.

Search

The search box includes an autocomplete feature for file names, folders, authors.
