Same here on google code. I have used it on multiple occasions to find out how users are using a class or API to get a feel for what API was actually used for. Not to mention when learning a new API having the ability to see real world usage was always helpful. Not to mention the ease of finding apps that had security issues in codebases after it was found. Anyone know of a replacement for this?

Well github's code search is a pretty good replacement, although it's limited to github.

GitHub's code search lacks regular expressions, which makes it far less useful than Google Code Search.
