1. A computer-implemented method for repository searching in a networked computing environment, comprising:

  • receiving, from a user, a ranking of a set of repositories within a first integrated development environment (IDE) into an order in which the set of repositories are to be searched, wherein the set of repositories comprises at least one repository accessible from an internet, and at least one repository which is unavailable over the internet;

    parsing and indexing a first program code file, received from the first IDE, into a repository based on a set of attributes of the first program code file;

    receiving a search request from a second IDE;

    determining whether the repository supports expectation processing, wherein expectation processing includes receiving a supplied input identified in an annotation and verifying that an output of an associated method matches a corresponding annotation;

    when a determination is made that the repository supports expectation processing,sending, by the second IDE, annotations to a first repository of the ranked set of repositories, andperforming by the repository, expectation processing according to input of the search request,determining whether there is another repository to be searched in the ranked set of repositories;

    identifying a matching program code file stored in the repository based on the expectation processing; and

    when the expectation processing is performed by the repository, transmitting the matching program code file to the second IDE to fulfill the search request.
