I agree. I like how Cocoapods does it http://cocoapods.org/

The funny thing though is that people don't use the site for search as much as you would think. Most people use Google to search and land directly on gem detail pages. For this reason there was less emphasis on search, however it was still too hidden. Hope the adjustment we've made solves the issue!

Thanks, Zander. We've made some adjustments and I believe your use case should be much better now. Let us know if you're still having any issues!

Thanks, George!

We thought about that, however it's actually not very practical given that older deprecated gems may have a much higher download count while a newer gem may be preferred.

I don't know how you can tell. The RubyGems pages loaded extremely fast even before the redesign.

Thank you!
