Jaimie sent me this today. I really like the concept but I’ve been using the firefox search of late and couldn’t see myself going back to using a website to kick off search. I took a second look tonight and sure enough a search plugin does exist so I’m on board with the yubnub.

My question is, why isn’t this part of the search tool in Firefox so that I can configure and customize it? Or maybe allow me to set a keyword for each search engine I install so that I can select the search engine using the first word I type instead of having to use the mouse and dropdown.

I used to use %s and keywords in bookmarks to hack something similar in the address bar. I should take a peek, maybe an extension already exists for this.
