          Issue ID: 23285
           Summary: code.dlang.org: code search would be a great feature
           Product: D
           Version: D2
          Hardware: All
                OS: All
            Status: NEW
          Severity: enhancement

Scenario from today: I'm looking into fixing some of my old code which uses
Windows COM classes.

Ideally I'd like to use an existing D COM utility library. But, I can't find
any relevant package on code.dlang.org just by searching for COM or Windows. 

However, if I could use code search then I could simply search for `IUnknown`
and that would probably find a bunch of projects which use COM.

---

In the end I did find what I was looking for, but only because I had the
knowledge that VisualD uses COM:
