Simple search on any site with the new version of Ubiquity!



In connection with the latest update of the remarkable experimental Ubiquity plug-in from Mozilla labs, I decided to write about one small, but very convenient feature, which added to the already very rich arsenal of this utility.

About Ubiquity on Habré has already been written , so I will not repeat and talk about what might be useful and how to use this tool.

Today, I want to tell only about one simple team that will allow you to use the built-in search of any site, while spending a minimum of effort and time.


Looking through the updated list of Mozilovsky Ubiquity commands, I noticed an interesting thing, namely the create-new-search-command command . The essence of this command is that you can add to your browser search for any search field on the Internet, with the help of just a few basic actions (provided that the Ubiquity plugin is already installed):

1. Place the cursor in the search field of the site where you want to easily and quickly search for something interesting.
2. Press Ctrl + Space to open the command entry field (the key combination may be different)
3. Enter the command (it will be enough to type create)
4. Press Enter


Further, if everything is done correctly, you will see in the lower right corner of the browser a pop-up notification, where the added search command will be written.

Now to look for, for example, on Habré, you just have to do the first two points from the instructions described above and type the word habr in the appeared field (this should also be enough) and after the space, in fact, the words you want to search for.

A new tab will open immediately in which the search results on the Habré of the words you entered will be displayed.

But in general, that's all. Simple, isn't it?

I will give a tiny demo:
