This is a search engine for publicly available KiCad files on GitHub. The KiCad files are parsed and the contained components indexed to make the projects searchable by the components they contain. This project was started as a university lab course and is now an open source project.
It would be nice if we could also parse other file formats, e.g. Eagle, Fritzing or LibrePCB. Fritzing looks easy enough, the .fz files are just plain xml. However, component names in Fritzing seem to not really refer to any easily searchable terms (e.g. MPN) from what a quick glance at a few files showed.
