Zusammenfassung:A method of searching source code comprises receiving a search string, a feature type and details of source code to be searched, parsing the source code to be searched to generate an abstract syntax tree, indexing the abstract syntax tree using the search structure which defines all source code features for which searching is enabled, searching for the search string of the feature type in the indexed abstract syntax tree using the results structure which defines the search outputs to be retrieved, and providing a structured search result based on the output of searching.
