Topic: #! Ubiquity commands

If you use the firefox add-on Ubiquity, I made a couple commands to search the forums and wiki.

To install 'em, Ctrl+Space (or whatever you have set to open Ubiquity) and type in command-editor. There'll be a huge textbox on the page, paste this in there:

makeSearchCommand({
  name: "crunchwiki",
  url: "http://crunchbanglinux.org/wiki/?do=search&id={QUERY}",
  icon: "http://crunchbanglinux.org/favicon.ico",
  description: "Searches the CrunchBang Wiki."
});

makeSearchCommand({
  name: "crunchbbs",
  url: "http://crunchbanglinux.org/forums/search/?action=search&keywords={QUERY}",
  icon: "http://crunchbanglinux.org/favicon.ico",
  description: "Searches the CrunchBang Forums."
});

It saves as you type,  so once you paste it go ahead and ctrl+space and type crunchbbs for the forums or crunchwiki for the wiki. 

Enjoy. smile

Nice one! I have not had a chance to play with Ubiquity yet, but this might just encourage me to do so! smile

Re: #! Ubiquity commands

You can easily add these to the herd, though I forget how.

Anyone fancy making a #! skin for ubiquity?

Sweet! It is like having Gnome-do inside of the Firefox.

There's a way to do it,  and it's not hard, but last time I checked it wasn't well done.  Like if I were to put all the commands on a page, there'd be an "Add to herd" button.  Problem would be you'd have to all or not, so this way seems better fit in case someone only wants the forums or wiki and not the other.

Or, of course, you can set seperate pages for each command.  This seems a bit easier to manage, though.

Thanks Danny!

That gives me the incentive to try out Ubiquity. It looks pretty neat.
