yubnub again
i started having troubles with the way i was using yubnub. refer to my earlier post
here.
i did some preliminary searches to get rid of the problem but i was disappointed. i read the following on
this page.
To the adventurous: Add YubNub to your Firefox address bar by typing about:config in the Location Bar then scrolling down the list and changing keyword.URL to http://yubnub.org/parser/parse?command= You haven't lived until you've turned the address bar into a full-fledged command line. (Thanks to Chuck Eglinton for helping me to word this more clearly) Update: Hmm ... After a while, the Firefox address bar doesn't seem to recognize one-word YubNub commands. I recommend instead the Firefox search plugin, described above. For keyword.URL I suggest Google Browse-By-Name. This does a Google search most of the time, but for especially common searches it takes you directly to the first search result. Works very well in practice.
so i installed the yubnub search engine. visit
this page
to learn how to install the yubnub search engine.
i did not want to keep the ``search bar", infact i had removed it from my firefox browser. however and sadly i had to bring it back.
there is another way to add a keyword search but in that case one has to prefix every yubnub command wit a `y' and i don't like that either :(

I'm trying out K-Meleon (gecko-based browser like firefox) and it lets you add search engines and configure one as the default for the address bar. So I'm trying out yubnub there.
