Abstract

The success of open source software promoted the vigorous development of the software industry, and a large number of code resources have created conditions for code search. How to find the required code through code search technology has become an important issue. In order to better promote the follow-up research, firstly this paper introduced and explained the concept and research trend of code search. Secondly, it reviewed the research of code search using different technologies, including information retrieval, query and code description enhancement, program feature classification, and deep learning, and summarized the differences. Next, it introduced the application of code search technology in many fields, including program synthesis, code recommendation and completion, and code style improvement. Finally, this paper analyzed the main problems of code search in order to provide some references and suggestions for the future development of this direction.
