I clone the layer repositories most likely to hold new recipes and then use some scripts I wrote to process them into a list of recipes that can be easily searched using grep. I wouldn't mind sharing those scripts if some people would find them useful. However, what I hope we can do in the 1.4 timeframe would be to implement my proposal here: https://bugzilla.yoctoproject.org/show_bug.cgi?id=3272 This would provide us with a way to search all published layers down to the recipe level from the web.
