Hi everyone,

I wrote a set of Mozilla Ubiquity commands that allow the user to  
search on rdocs, also featuring autocomplete, load of any rdoc hosted  
on the web and changing the default rdoc when searching.

The project is hosted here: [http://projects.talleye.com/ubiquity-rdoc](http://projects.talleye.com/ubiquity-rdoc)

and GitHub.

Please, let me know any bug, suggestion, etc

maybe we could extend it a bit to jump directly to a specific  
method? say ‘rdoc String#delete’ gives us the rdoc for String’s  
delete method (right now i’d have to get my hand off the keyboard to  
select it from the list). this has definitely the potential to  
become my new favourite rdoc browser. thanks for sharing!

cheers

Hi Jean,

Yesterday I started a branch on Github for working in persistent  
indexes when using rdoc-load. But improvements on search is also in my  
todo list.

Anyone could contribute, of course.

Thanks for the suggestion,

Cipriani

## You guys could hook it into [LogLibrary.com is for sale | HugeDomains](http://rails.loglibrary.com/lookup). This takes the syntax like Ruby Array#size or Ruby Array size or just distance\_of\_time\_words or just Array and will link you right to the documentation.
