Krugle Ships 2.0 Version of Code Search Engine
Hendry's company is aligned with Visual Studio, not Eclipse. It hasn't yet built an integration with Krugle, but may down the road if it becomes a paying customer, Hendry said. "We'll probably take a look at that. It's not a must-have, but it would probably be nice to have."
The Scotts Valley, California, company mostly creates software for publishers, who then sell it, Hendry said. Thuridion has "a large body of code" at any given time -- some three million to four million lines of code, excluding comment documents, he said.
Thuridion "very briefly" considered other vendors but felt Krugle returned better results, he said.
Subscription pricing typically begins at about US$25,000 per year and scales up depending on the size of the code base, the number of users and how often the code base is crawled.
Krugle was formed in October 2005. Its competitors include Koders and Google. The company also runs a free site, www.krugle.org, which can be used to search more than two billion lines of open-source code. The krugle.org index can also be accessed through the enterprise product.
