Are you aware that not even every KDE developer knows about LXR? I constantly have to tell people about it.
Yes, and I'm as well aware of the "if it's not in google, it doesn't exist" phenomenon, BUT: that's not gonna work. If you search for QComplicatedClass, you'll find the Qt API docs, maybe some bug and most likely some stackoverflow entry - not a token in some thousand lines of code (leaving aside that mindless "i copy what I don't understand" is not the best of all approaches) - that will be on page [where no one has gone before]
Now consider someone outside of KDE even, trying to figure out where KAwesomeClass is defined
But you already know it exists? As mentioned I don't care, but for devs, one should ensure they get aware of lxr.kde.org - that's *far* better than having them enter "m_foo" into google and click until they find a result in KDE. The idea that someone finds a solution to his problem in the KDE sources is a bit far off to me. No idea what it would take, but ideally google would simply forward lxr.kde.org when you search for "kde" and something else. Stillshrug, Thomas
