That "codesearch" is only superficially related to this one. The main feature of _this_ codesearch that makes it so useful is the cross references to callers, callees, and overrides. Ye olde codesearch has more in common with things like livegrep.

However this part of internal codesearch is the one part that is actually (partially) open sourced: kythe.io

What's the internal codesearch tool written in?
