Google’s mission to “organize the worlds information and make it universally accessible and useful” holds true, even when all that revelation has unintended, and sometimes negative, consequences.

On Thursday, the Web search leader introduced Google Code Search, something useful to several million software programmers around the world, but not much of anybody else, at least directly.

Put the power to quickly search billions of lines of code in the public’s hands and you can learn things, including some things maybe you didn’t want to know.

• Predius, who describes himself as a 16-year-old Peruvian Linux geek, has charted the frequency with which programmers embed unprintable swear words in commentary lines embedded within their computer code.
• InfoWorld has a round-up of security vulnerabilities that Google Code Search brings to light. One hacker site highlights “Googledorks,” defined as “an inept or foolish person as revealed by Google.”
• There’s also as many as 10 million e-mail addresses of software coders for spam distributors to harvest, according a discussion list on Digg.com.
