It would be very simple to setup a common search engine based on 
estraier (estraier.sf.net),
provided several ruby-relevant websites agree to use it. :-)

If you setup estraier as search and email me the cgi I happily setup a 
ruby meta-search-engine;
Or even better: we run it on all ruby-relevant websites that want to 
join the experiment.

howto:
http://estraier.sourceforge.net/spex.html
search for "Meta Search System"
