Wouldn’t it be nice to be able to search every ruby blog, mailing list, and project document on the entire Internet from a single location?

A direct link to RKS was posted a while back and complained down pretty quickly because all it is is a customized Google query. You can do exactly the same thing in Google's search.

It's actually Google Co-OP not just a customized Google query. You can't actually do this with a customized google query. You can however easily create a thing like this using google Co-Op.

DISCLAIMER: I am involved in the RKS

jongretar is right...

I would add that the hard thing here is to collect the sites. As jongretar pointed out, it is not a big thing to create the customized search engine per se. However, to find, maintain and extend a list of the sites that are actually searched is a different story. Manually it would be totally impossible due to the amount of sites - so we are using http://scrubyt.org to scrape a lot of sources.
