About 70,600 times, according to Google Code Search, the latest product of the fertile Google Labs.
But it only sucks 6,511 times, according to Krugle, and a meager 1,910 times according to Koders.
I think Krugle and Koders are going to face some tough competition. Is this a signal to all the companies that are offering vertical search products: “Be warned, your business might be eaten by Google.”?
And now, for another silly statistic, if you were looking for a confirmation that Open Source developers are really sloppy, you can find about 327,000 instances of the string “FIXME” in comments, even limiting ourselves to languages that have a comment syntax like the one of C, C++, Java, etc.

From my point of view, that warning doesn’t only go for “vertical search products”, but to all web-based services. Google employers seem to have the same interests as the geeks who want to build something with their own sweat and money…
Have you tried “TODO”? Even more results. I love the search, but the output really could be better.
