Are there any tools out there that will index source code, client side, and provide blazing fast search results?
How can I index our internal source code? is related but covers server side tools.

With closed source software (also known as proprietary software), the public is not given access to the source code, so they can't see or modify it in any way. But with open source software, the source code is publicly available to anyone who wants it, and programmers can read or change that code if they desire.
For languages on the web, there really isn't any way you hide the source code. If the browser can see it then anybody can see it. You can try to make it harder by obfuscating it. However, one can still decipher it given enough time.
Open source software is code that is designed to be publicly accessible—anyone can see, modify, and distribute the code as they see fit. Open source software is developed in a decentralized and collaborative way, relying on peer review and community production.
The source code which constitutes a program is usually held in one or more text files stored on a computer's hard disk; usually, these files are carefully arranged into a directory tree, known as a source tree. Source code can also be stored in a database (as is common for stored procedures) or elsewhere.
Everything and Locate32 are nice indexing-tools on the windows platform. Just one problem, they only index the file-names. DocFetcher is another solution, it tries to index the content of the files, but have big memory issues as it cannot index the content of bigger files, and just skips them
I'm also on the search for something to index my data, and i want some tool like locate32 wich is supernice to integrate with the windows shell, but it would be nice to get it to index the content of files also, only brute word indexing, no magic to be done to the data, but let me do plain wildcard searches, like words starting with, ending with, and containing. But the search is still on.. (for an app, that is..)
