Perhaps they decided wrongly about this one? The level of complexity was underestimated, perhaps.

Not just simple ones, but really complicated ones with lots of horrible details, and margins and columns and multiple languages, different fonts..you get the point. Typesetting on steriods. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/3b2 The language is/was called 3B2. Google code search has nothing....and I mean nothing. In fact, the Internet in general doesn't have any tutorials on it. Just a mere Yahoo! group were people ask random questions. So yes, Google code search still has a while to go before it becomes useful. I’m currently supporting a legacy app that is responsible for publishing PDFs.
