As Robert stated, a plugin for koders.com would be a great idea. This plugin 
should interface with the snippets sidebar and provide the user with the 
ability to request (or should search in the background, depending on the 
context, which could be code surrounding the cursor) code snippets. Having 
tested the search on their website, it seems that we would have to add some 
intelligence to the search functionality, as e.g. a search for "runge kutta" 
(restricted to c++) brings up about 10 header files (which are not of much 
value as a code snippet) before the first cpp file shows up in the list.
