I need the search tool too, and got way too annoyed, so I created a script
which uses the blade's built-in search and rehash the results for nicer
usage.

I've planned to release a kit ruby-tools when it's mature enough. Currently
it has only two scripts, and the first is ruby-talk-search.rb. The second is
raa-tools.rb which keeps me up to date of advances in the RAA. It automates
downloading, and I mostly use it to download updated packages.

Both have very rough edges and are useful for only private use, but if
there's enough interest I can prepare the before-v.1.0-type of release with
faster timetable.

In any case I'd warn the people of the very nature of these applications.
Both are just temporary remedies to specific problem, and their life-time
will hopefully be very short because the real problem gets fixed right. With
this I mean the forecoming new version of Blade, which is under development.
And the other development in the future is the rewrite of RAA-engine, which
in turn relates quite closely to the RPM (Ruby Package Manager :), which
relates to Ruby Package Architecture and so on...
