Why not just expand the original query? A search for "devise ruby" works pretty well (https://duckduckgo.com/?q=devise+ruby).

I've long given up searching for trendily-named JavaScript libraries without adding "js" to the search term.



There are some stupidly named plugins & libraries out there, not to mention films and music too. Sometimes you need context. One of my favorite bands is called Perfume, results are terrible unless I provide context or type their name in kanji. I say "one of" but there aren't any others <3

I'm thinking more along the lines of collecting the info that google does, but not attaching it to people. Turn it into some sort of group profile that I can elect to be a part of for a particular search- so if I search 'mixers' as one group I get mozilla dev network results, and as a different group I get kitchen equipment, and as a still different group I get local singles' meetups. The difference in the last group is that I wouldn't also get numbers for local divorce lawyers showing up as ads.

(Edit- clarification re: ads)


Or if you think it might be on github, https://duckduckgo.com/?q=devise+github


Or better yet: "!github devise".

Or, even better: "!rubygems devise".
