Is there a way to search within the entire http://android.git.kernel.org/ repository?

[kenjkelly]

Hi Folks,
I noticed a few questions where folks are looking for specific
methods or classes. Before I downloaded eveything I had the same
problem. Is there a way for those who did not (yet) download
everything, to search across all projects on the site?

You can simply choose "grep" from the combobox and type your keywords for searching in the specified git repository.

For example: http://android.git.kernel.org/?p=platform/frameworks/base.git&a=search&h=HEAD&st=grep&s=Surface

Yes, but I'm really asking about a more global search. For example,
someone recently asked about Bluetooth and the answer was found in the
framework/base project, while they were looking in other modules like
external/bluez. Once pointed to the correct project the grep feature
works well, but the problem is in discovering which of the many
projects contain the information you are seeking.

For those with the entire source tree on their local machines, this
feature could be used to search a new merge to determine, before you
repo, if a feature was added and which projects contain the pieces.

I am asking about the possibility for a grep-like feature at the
http://android.git.kernel.org/ level, like the one that exists at the
project level, that would at least point to the correct projects. It
would handle those kinds of recurring questions.

Thanks,
Ken Kelly

Then I think the easiest way is to use repo to download all the source code and grep whatever you want:) Just kidding~~~

just add package:android to a google code search

an example of searching for AbsListView:

Wow~ It's much more convenient, thanks.

It is ultra fast!
How about adding this as a convenient easy-to-find link from
code.google.com/android ?
