Improved social trustability of code search results

Search is a fundamental activity in software development. However, to search source code efficiently, it is not sufficient to implement a traditional full text search over a base of source code, human factors have to be taken into account as well. We looked into ways of increasing the search results code trustability by providing and analysing a range of meta data alongside the actual search results.
