Laurent Simoneau in his article "What Makes Search Great?" mentions few things of what good search tool should have ie. "Categorization and clustering for browsing results, exploring collections or doing queryless searches". It is hard to categorize content, like human language. There's no way machine would know what's the context of given phrese.
Things are different for programming laguages. You can easily get context for a piece of code, so if you want to find a sollution for a particular task, Krugle is there for you. When you are in advanced search screen, you can easily add context to your search prase, like programming language you want to search, or kinds of usage (class definition, function call).
I strongly recommend this search engine to anyone who writes code.

Very nice, useful when the company has much of code and many libraries.
Thanks for the comment. I forgot to mention that krugle can be purchased and used only within company, but you can use their web site to find many sollutions among Open Source projects.
