<p>Try out "gem search -d QUERY" or "gem list -dr QUERY"</p>
<p>...these methods have gotten very, very slow over time and were
meant for a time when the index was much faster though. It might be
faster to just<br>
search Google or rubygems.org until we can make that better!</p></div>Nick Quarantotag:help.rubygems.org,2010-01-19:Comment/401664522016-06-22T12:40:27Z2016-06-22T12:40:27Zgem info or description<div><p>We're working on better search for RubyGems.org and once that is
done I think we should expose that via the API and <code>gem
search</code> should probably use it too.</p></div>David Radcliffetag:help.rubygems.org,2010-01-19:Comment/401664522016-06-22T17:11:03Z2016-06-22T17:11:03Zgem info or description<div><p>See also <code>gem spec</code> for details on installed gems and
<code>gem dep</code> for viewing the dependencies of gems.</p></div>Eric Hodeltag:help.rubygems.org,2010-01-19:Comment/401664522016-06-24T02:54:09Z2016-06-24T02:54:11Zgem info or description<div><p>Thank you so much guys. All suggestions worked.</p>
<p>@Nick actually it wasn't slow for me, worked great. Short info
on gems is what I was looking for, ex. gem name and version number,
author name, description of a gem. Perfect.</p></div>Liamtag:help.rubygems.org,2010-01-19:Comment/401664522016-08-08T11:43:00Z2016-08-08T11:43:00Zgem info or description<div><p>This has been resolved.</p></div>sonalkr132
