Maybe this could be a module along the lines of
Fin's site. It's amazing how many people don't know about this great little site. Myself, I have it's RSS feed in my Live Bookmarks so I don't have to visit the main page itself to see what's new or updated.
An MMOUI Minion module could be coded to use Fin's RSS feed and or his search box. That's my two Eurocent's worth.
