I participated in a search engine usability study today.
Google Code Search was supposed to be the crappiest among the given search engines - the Raphael said he would probably need to assist me during the tasks since they were known to trip up previous participants.
During the trial I discovered the trick to making Google Code Search work. Type in "test" after your query. This brings up test suites related to your result, which means you can figure out how to use the resulting APIs by example.
"You are by far the fastest Googler I have ever seen."
My prize? $30 Amazon gift certificate. Yummy.
