Google is introducing a new search service - strictly for computer programmers only. The Web search leader said late on Wednesday it is introducing Google Code Search, a site that simplifies how software developers search for programming code to improve existing software or create new programs. Google product manager Tom Stocky said the company is set to help programmers sift through billions of lines of computer source code using its familiar search box to uncover snippets of reusable software.

While I don't agree with NotParker that black hats will use this to put intrusions in code hoping others will use it, I do think this could be relatively bad for web based applications. Simple search for "Where $_POST" with php as the language could result in some amazing SQL injection opportunities.
Then you know which project has them and all you have to do is find someone that utilizes that project (which isn't hard, you can do web servers for page names, etc).
