Livegrep is a tool for interactive regex search of gigabyte-scale source repositories, inspired by Google Code Search. It uses a codesearch backend to index and search code and provides a web interface for querying, with a stateless design that communicates over TCP between components. You can run it locally with Bazel, and see a running instance at http://livegrep.com/.
