The Idea
Google gives a lot of results for any search term. But often you get: * spam websites * results in other directories * irrelevant results For example: Googling for a library for the Ruby programming language that does a particular thing is liable to get you one or two results that might be relevant. However, searching for the same thing on both rubyforge and raa.ruby-lang.org will get you much more relevant information. This idea is a site would provide a way to allow people to create these meta-searches and tag them so that other people can then use them. There could possibly be a directory of tags to make it even easier. Use could be made of http://opensearch.a9.com/ to further enhance things. Share these searches with your colleagues and the world at large. Know that someone"s blog often contains historical quotes? Put that in a "historical quotes" search. Revenue would be via targetted advertising, much like Google or Yahoo!
I thought of this idea when I was...
I was asked by a colleague how he could find a Ruby library for a particular task and Google wasn"t helping.

I thought this had already been done (cant think of the service name though)
Maybe - let me know if you can find it :-)
does tags and other search engine doesnt help?
why not go to the library instead?
