Acre Code Search is great. I've already used it a couple of times when
I'm convinced there's a better way to code something.
I don't know if this is possible but it would be interesting to be able
to search for cloned scripts or applications. That way, if you find an
interesting script you could see how other people are using it in their
apps.
