Google integrates code search in main results page

Google has integrated results from Code Search as snippets in the main search results page.

Google Code Search - service from Google designed to allow programmers and others seek out computer code from across the web and was launched on Oct 5.2005.

It's beneficial as it can help new developers see how other experienced developers solve certain problems and learn from their techniques, and helps experienced developers to locate code snippets and build on them in their own code. But as with most anything, Google Code Search can be used for malicious intentions.
