Arcadian Visions have released a plugin for Mac OS X's Spotlight that lets you quickly search your Ruby source code. Once indexed, you can search by module, class, method, general contents, or code comments. (Found via Have GNU, Will Travel)

(Added: Tread with caution! It seems one user is having problems installing this on their Intel x86 powered Mac. See comments.)

    Looked promising. Unfortunately, this may be too old to work on an intel based mac.
    I’m getting this error:

    It may even be a change to Spotlight APIs in 10.4.7 or something..

    In any case, thanks for the report, and I’ve amended the post with a caution.
