              RESEARCH SURVEY ON SOURCE CODE SEARCHING

Are you a programmer?  Have you ever had to search your source code?  
If you have, then we'd like to hear from you.  Please visit:

http://www.turing.utoronto.ca/~simsuz/survey/scss-intro.html

We're surveying computer professionals on how they search source 
code.  We're looking for fairly basic information, such as what
tools you use and what kinds of things you look for.  Our research
project builds tools that are based on what programmers actually
need rather than ideas that sound good.

So next time you're waiting for a compile, or if the company is winding 
down in the lead up to the holidays, take 5-10 minutes and fill out the 
survey.  Any anecdotes, comments, or ideas that you have will be 
Appreciated.

Thanks in advance for your participation.

Thanks to all of you who have filled out the survey.  The responses
so far have been excellent.  I'm posting another request for those
people who meant to do it and it slipped their mind, or for those
who just need a little more encouragement.

We're surveying computer professionals on how they search source 
code as part of the ESSME project at the University of Toronto.  We're

kinds of things you look for.  Our research project builds tools that are 
based on what programmers actually need rather than ideas that sound good.

So next time you're waiting for a compile, or if you're having a quiet
day during the "holidays," take 5-10 minutes and fill out the 
survey at:
