I got tired of this too. I've put up an experimental web page for us to 
try out to search the OSH Park shared projects.
If you go to the URL below there is this prompt followed by a text box:

    "Search OSH Park Shared Projects for this regular expression:"

If you type something into that and then "enter", all the URLs of all 
the shared projects containing that expression with any mix of upper or 
lower case *on  single line* between the project's label and it's 
permalink will be shown. If there are no matches a msg to that effect is 
shown. The "return to home" link goes back to the triembed.org page, not 
this test page. If you put something like a single blank in the form it 
will take a long time to come back with a list of every project URL and 
my ISP will eventually become irritated by the amount of resources I'm 
chewing up on my domain server.

Examples:
    1) This regex will return a single URL for a breakout for an MSP430 
chip in a VQFN package:
           msp430.*qfn
    2) This regex will return a handful of URLs for all the projects 
mentioning MSP430:
          msp430

http://triembed.org/oshpark.html <http://triembed.org/test.html>

Again, this just searches lines. It won't find an expression that 
straddles a line break.

This operates off a cached, compressed copy of the shared project HTML 
wget'd from OSH Park a few days ago. If this isn't redundant and proves 
useful (and doesn't annoy Laen at OSH Park) I'll think about next steps. 
In the meantime do not forward this to Slashdot. :-)
