The way Ubiquity works is similar and dissimilar to QS. Ubiquity is more similar to the Enso launcher for windows then it is to QS (I think). I don't know if you would be able to catalog items.
For example to do a google search, I do this - -I press shift-enter (my command for summoning Ubiqiuty0 - I then type "google" (or just "g" if no other sugestions come up) - Then I press space and enter my query - I am then given a preview of the first few results (which I can click to get to them directly) - If I press enter I'm then get the google results page in a new tab To get my last email, I do this - - summon Ubiquity - Type "last-email" - Enter my password for gmail if required - Then i get shown a small preview - If i press enter, gmail opens with my last email, in a new tab (I have trouble getting this part to work, so this is what i assume happens) Here is a link to a script for windows that makes Ubiquity more "Ubiquitous" http://www.lifehacker.com.au/tips/2008/10/08/make_ubiquity_more_ubiquitous-2.html I would hope that if QS gained some sort of Ubiquity support it would be better than this though Thanks On Oct 17, 12:20 pm, Howard Melman <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > I haven't used ubiquity much at all yet but I would want this to work > similar to the plugins that support keyword searches for safari (Acid > Search, SafariStand, and Sogudi).
