Greetings,

I searched over the ruby-talk archives to see if this had been
discussed before, and couldn't see a clear hit, so my apologies if
this is a rehash:

It is rather difficult to find something in RAA if you don't know
exactly what you are looking for.  The categorizing of the entries
helps (i.e. I can go to the short list of XML entries), but it is
still necessary to click into each to see their descriptions.  Most of
the time the names do not describe what the entry is.  Unfortunately,
sometimes, neither do the descriptions  :-)

Two possibilities:

1. Display the description field of each entry in the main RAA page.
This has the disadvantage of making for a fatter, slower main page,
but it would be searchable using the browser's search.

2. Make a RAA-specific, dynamic search that would search the entry
attributes and return a list of matchs to click into, preferably
displaying the description in the search results.

Thoughts?

Thanks,

Guerry
