Natural Language Semantic Code Search

Features:

• Searches code not comments. So you can find code that you are looking for! We can add ability to search comments trivially.
• Can find code even if you don't know the syntax
• Can find code even if you don't know what keywords to search for
• Search is not sensitive to synonyms or specific word choice. Instead searches for "meaning"

Product

• Product idea will be to augment our existing search (not replace it) by also returning results of semantic code search in addition to classic search.

• 15 minute video: How does this work?
• Technique that inspired this approach: DeVisE
• The open source version of this will be hosted here
• Medium blog post: TBD
