Where's the best RDoc resource?

For Rails, I use
http://www.railsbrain.com/api/rails-2.0.2/doc/index.html .
Ajax-enhanced search system.

But is there any alternative in Ruby? What do you do in exploring
RDoc? Do you use your mouse a lot?

Best resource is your local machine:

Run 'gem_server' and open http://localhost:8808/

Alternatively you should find your rdoc html files for your gems (rails etc..)
somewhere in /usr/lib/ruby/gems/1.8/doc .... (see 'gem environment GEM_PATH')

If you don't want to use a mouse try 'ri' (e.g. 'ri ActiveRecord::Base')
