A few weeks after Ruby Quiz 139 I found myself needing again to do a binary search in a big text file. So I converted the solution submitted to OOP and released it as a rubygem.
With this gem, you create first an index of the file you need to search and then do the searches. More info at http://binarysearch.rubyforge.org/

Sorry but I guess the gem's name is somewhat inadequate. This is not a binary search library, but a text indexing and searching library which happens to employ a binary search algorithm. So you essentially reserve this gem name from some possible real binsearch library...

You're right. I never stop for a second thought about the gem's name. Maybe I choose some cryptic name where there is no chance of collision.

I haven't intended to suggest a cryptic name - just something more specific to what your gem actually does.
