A system and method for searching a software database to locate summaries of software modules, methods and classes that pertain to keywords extracted from a formulation of a software problem. The software problem formulation is parsed to extract keywords pertaining to the subject matter of the problem. The extracted keywords are then arranged into a query, which is submitted to a software module database. Software module summaries obtained from software module databases in response to the query are sorted and formatted for display to a user, who may then study the displayed summaries to determine which software modules to investigate further in order to develop a possible solution to the reported software problem.
