Hi All, We already use Atlassians Fisheye tool on an external copy of our repo. This has excellent tools including the code search facilities you need.
The ViewVC search facility has been investigated and discounted at this time due to DoS and other concerns. OpenGrok would be yet another tool introduced to the ASF and ultimately another one infra would need to support for install and for any future upgrades. We have many requests for tool X from project Y and we just can't say yes to them all. At this time I would urge the project to use the Fisheye instance, let me know if you have any questions about it.
