Programmers in need of a search engine to find information about their chosen languages and frameworks
About SymbolHound
SymbolHound is a search engine that doesn't ignore special characters. This means you can easily search for symbols like &, %, and π. We hope SymbolHound will help programmers find information about their chosen languages and frameworks more easily. SymbolHound is primarily a programming search engine. Searching for symbols is just not that useful for the average Internet user. Google could probably very easily do this, but it wouldn't make their search engine any better for the vast majority of their user base; in fact, it might make it worse. But for the small percentage of people who find themselves needing to search for special characters, Google is not useful. However, SymbolHound is a symbol search engine and is perfect for that query.

Sourcetrail
Sourcetrail is an interactive source explorer that simplifies navigation in existing source code by indexing your code and gathering data about its structure. Sourcetrail then provides a simple interface consisting of three interactive views, each playing a key role in helping you obtain the information you need. Search: Use the search field to quickly find and select indexed symbols in your source code. The autocompletion box will instantly provide an overview of all matching results throughout your codebase. Graph: The graph displays the structure of your source code. It focuses on the currently selected symbol and directly shows all incoming and outgoing dependencies to other symbols. Code: The Code view displays all source locations of the currently selected symbol in a list of code snippets. Clicking on a different source location allows you to change the selection and dig deeper.

Hound
Hound is an extremely fast source code search engine. The core is based on this article (and code) from Russ Cox: Regular expression matching with a trigram index. Hound itself is a static React frontend that talks to a Go backend. The backend keeps an up-to-date index for each repository and answers searches through a minimal API. Currently Hound is only tested on MacOS and CentOS, but it should work on any *nix system. Hound on Windows is not supported but we've heard it compiles and runs just fine (although it helps to to exclude your data folder from Windows Search Indexer).
