What people are saying
Search means a lot of things, but even if we limit to mean web-search, as most people understand it, there is a lot more to it than the actual technology that matches queries…

What Hacker News says
2 sourcesIt depends on the size and what you are trying to do.
For example, lately I 've spent maybe a week studying Lucene, and kept going back to it every other day, because I needed to understand pretty much everything about it, to get ideas for improving Trinity ( https://github.com/phaistos-networks/Trinity ).
Some other codebases are so vast it takes a lot, lot longer to understand them enough to feel 'comfortable' navigating them (e.g the Unreal Engine codebase).
Most codebases however are quite small, and within 1 hour, or a few, you 'll be able to understand where to go to find what you need, which are the primary data structures and functions, etc.
