I wonder how feasible it would be to implement a higher order programming language based on searching code snippets. If it could be made to work, it could potentially speed up development time by an order of magnitude.

Order of magnitude? How could anyone possibly know this if it doesn't exist?

It could just as easily turn out to be no better than CASE or rational or any other junk that's come before.

Well, theoretically, it would make it possible to abstract away writing traditional fine-grained code, just like our languages today abstracted away assembly, which in turn asbtracted away flipping mechanical switches.
