Abstract

Efficient algorithms are extremely important and can be crucial for certain software projects. Even though many source code search engines have been proposed in the literature to help software developers find source code related to their needs, to our knowledge there has been no effort to develop systems that keep abreast of the latest algorithmic developments. In this paper, we describe our initial effort towards developing such an algorithm search engine. The proposed system extracts and indexes algorithms discussed in academic literature and their associated metadata. Users can search the index through a free text query interface. The source code of proposed system, being developed as a part of a larger open source toolkit, SeerSuite, will be released in due course. We also provide directions for further research and improvements of the current system.
