I created an code search tool made in Flask called Codel.

What My Project Does
Codel lets you search code not just from Github, Gitlab or Gitea, But from any reference of that code on the internet. From reddit posts to blog posts containing code.

Target Audience
This is aimed at developers trying to find code, reliably, and not relying on AI to generate new code.

Comparison
Codel doesn't justlet you search code snippets but entire git repositories, Something most code search tools can't do, relying on you to go to the individual website like Github to search for the repo, Codel simplfies it.

Love that you're expanding code search beyond just Github and AI output - the internet-wide scope is super practical. Does Codel also support searching private or internal company repos, or is it just public sources?

Because public repos are the only ones I can index (for now), but i'm working on it.

Pretty sick that you pulled this off - finding full repos all in one spot is a lifesaver when I’m deep in the weeds. Respect for building something developers actually need.
