Now the only thing I use the search bar for is Google by Keyboard. I've wiped out all the other search engines. I'm going to do a follow-up post that covers personal commands and aliases, but I wanted to confine the first YubNub post to features that don't require more sophisticated syntax. You can set a personal command via <i>!set [command name] [url]</i> for your own use (you're not submitting it to YubNub). Then you can use it with the syntax <i>![command name] [parameters]</i>. Aliases are good for either shortening an existing command, or making it more mnemonic. The syntax for the <i>!seta</i> command get a little more involved than I want to get into here, but I'll cover it soon enough -- or you can <i>man !</i> in the meantime. @augmentedfourth: Your address bar tip is priceless.

I've been using it ever since Jon created it for Rails Day in '05. Don't forget "sgread" and "sgma" for the SSL-encrypted https:// versions of Google Reader and Gmail (plus, there's "sgmao" if you prefer the "Older Version" interface of Gmail). By the way, forget the search plug-in. Install it right into your address bar! Put about:config in your address bar to bring up the raw preferences, and set up the following two keys: keyword.enabled = true (this is on by default) keyword.URL = http://yubnub.org/parser/parse?command= Now you can enter YubNub commands right into your address bar. I don't even put the Firefox search bar in the interface anymore... the combination of personal keyword search bookmarks + YubNub means I can do all my searching and/or URL entry from the same location. What do you mean by "personal commands or aliases"? YubNub doesn't have that sort of thing to my knowledge; are you just talking about setting them up in your Firefox bookmarks? I love YubNub!
