in reply to Help on building a search engine (design / algorithms / parsing / tokenising / database design)
This node matching comments by Eugene has some pointers to comment extraction - be warned it's not as easy as it seems
to get all the special weird cases, especially where
there are multi-line comments or worse nesting coments.
I would make the comment extractor conservative and cautious so you don't end up with a great tract of source code in your db by mistake.
