This paper explores the need for 'history-aware' searches, by experimentally showing a development process that includes code fragments which disappear at a revision and appear again at a later revision. Some of these code re-appearances are not a result of a revert command of a version control system, but a result of a developer who copied a code fragment from old source files.
