]]> Comment on Regarding Krugle’s First Look by Bobster http://www.spryken.com/blog/2006/04/14/regarding-krugles-first-look/comment-page-1#comment-18 Bobster Fri, 14 Apr 2006 17:34:30 +0000 http://www.spryken.com/blog/2006/04/14/regarding-krugles-first-look/#comment-18 Yep, that is indeed my main complaint. Since Krugle is mainly indexing open source repositories, and seeming filtering even them for primarily Java code, it does me and those like me, little good. Since the majority of code running on the majority of the desktops in the world is written in Microsoft based languages it seems a shame that the innovators at Krugle have decided to skip the largest segment of their audience. However, both Google and MSN are about to roll out similar search engines, and they have not accepted or imposed any such limitations on their offerings so I imagine Krugle will die on the vine since the Java folks will be able to get just as good results for at least the Google offering. Such a waste.... Bobster Yep, that is indeed my main complaint.
