Krugle Brings Code Search to CollabNet Developer Communities

Krugle, Inc., maker of a specialized search engine for software developers, announced a partnership with CollabNet Inc. to provide code search functionality to over one million developers on the CollabNet platform and CollabNet Subversion.

The partnership gives software developers on the CollabNet platform easy access to code search functionality and information related to software code in a single, easy-to-use interface. It also gives engineering managers more visibility into the development lifecycle, helping them meet compliance requirements, cut operating costs and innovate faster. CollabNet will make Krugle code search available on its customers' development sites so that users can search for code without leaving the CollabNet environment.

"Some of the most powerful work in the search industry today happens at the developer level, mandated by the demands of increasing complexity in the code that drives applications," said Ken Krugler, Krugle's Co-Founder and CTO. "Our tools help developers find code quicker, help executives get more out of their intellectual property, and help companies like CollabNet expand their communities. Our partnership with CollabNet adds another one million users to the Krugle search community."

According to research conducted by Evans Data, developers spend up to 25 percent of their time searching for code. Through Krugle, developers can search an index of more than 1.5 billion lines of code, more than 400 million web pages and more than 100,000 projects, radically reducing the time they spend searching for code.

The Krugle search service is also available through openCollabNet, http://www.open.collab.net/ , the new extension to CollabNet's platform and Subversion. As an online community, openCollabNet gives users free access to product extensions, in-depth technical content, community resources, support and training and ways to interact with other developers.

"openCollabNet gives our users quick and easy ways to get started with CollabNet, increase productivity through better use of our platforms and collaborate with us and the community of our users," said Bill Portelli, president and CEO of CollabNet. "The partnership with Krugle takes openCollabNet one step further and brings functionality inside our customers' development environments that will foster open source and enterprise developer communities. No other vendor is in the position to bring a partnership such as this one directly to the desktop of so many enterprise and open source developers."

Customers can try the integrated Krugle search on openCollabNet at http://open.collab.net . Tigris.org, the home of the Subversion open source project, is already leveraging the integration between CollabNet and Krugle.
