Unite CodeSearch

[ReneFroger]

Thanks for sharing this awesome plugin with us! Great job.

I saw that Google Code Search works the same way as Everything, it uses an index too. But for inline code, not for file name. You can check out it on here. The manual is included in the download, and it offers a cmd path.

I was wondering if it's possible to wrap the functionality into a Unite source, same as Unite Everything?

I'm sorry for late reply.

I had never heard it and I tried it.

It seems indexed code search tool and the behavior is similar to grep or ctags. (Everything indexes and searches only filenames and doesn't index any contents)

I think it is better to use with Unite-grep. Unite-grep also search asynchronously. Why don't you try it with the Google Code Search?

I would like to integrate Google Code Search into my Unite workflow.

Like :Unite file file_rec everything and Google Code Search. With Grep that's not possible.

I looked again. It gives you the output from a binary, and in same way Everything does the same (filtering the contents).

So could it be possible to wrap Csearch.exe into your plugin, I guess?

Everything is based on a NTFS feature (USN journal) which basically acts like and index on inode changes (knows every file touched created on system) so is not possible to extend it.
