I'm having an extremly hard time finding a service that allows me to search for some HTML source code. In particular i'm trying to find a certain javascript file to see how many people are using my script.

For example, i'd love to know how many people have "javascript_file.js" embedded into their HTML.

Anyone have any suggestions or resources on how to look for this information? Google doesn't seem to provide any source code searching.

where are you looking for this? on your sites or other peoples sites. if your looking abroad then your basically asking us to help you automate a view source method. Which is getting pretty close to hacking. You'd need to set up a bot that would go through a list of sites and scour all the pages looking for all (or part) of the .js file in question.

Its a touchy subject? Why, may i ask, are you looking for it? If your the creator of the script and you are looking for people who stole it or modified it you may have a case, but if not, and you get caught, you may face repurcussions for spidering and potentially slowing down commercial sites.
