As mentioned in my blog I never checked in detail the features of Krugle and “Find in Comments” did throw up good results. (I will do it )

However I am interested in knowing how krugle gives priority when you select “Found in -> Any Area”.

I was seeing that for a search “Convert String to int”, the engine was giving more priority to the “functions” in the first page of results.

Probably Krugle can give the top results of each search domain i.e Functions,Source Code,Function call etc. Or there can be option (checkbox) to do this, I believe it might provide better results in the first page.

Thanks for giving Krugle a try. I blogged about your tests here at Krugle.

Short summary – your first test is an example of trying to do semantic search in code, which rarely works well (or at least not without some extra work to restrict the search to just comments).

Your second test exposed a bug in our query parser – thanks!
