What is Reddit's opinion of YubNub?

From 3.5 billion Reddit comments

I don't know if these count as 'not well known' but:

1. Pianobarfly, an interface to pandora with recording.

2. yubnub, an interface to the search system of the same name. (I don't quite think I can call it a search 'engine' as they don't host results on their own server, I think)

3. (Almost forgot) David Skoll's remind from his website, roaringpenguin.

Yes, but this is a direct link. A hotlink would be if the image was embedded on the page. Like this.

You can also use YubNub to do similar things (which makes YubNub my favorite default browser search engine):

yt cat videos

And if you wanted, you could also use YubNub to search DuckDuckGo to search YouTube:

ddg !yt cat videos

I have been using this since 2008. The servers for it crashed once. Navigating the internet was excruciating. It was as if I had become a child again, forced to relearn the basics of speech and movement.

It's kind of the same thing as what you're saying, except you don't have to type in the entire address, just a keyword, and you don't have to have that search engine added. For example, going to youtube.com works with your method, but if I want to search somethnig on vimeo or google maps, or something not as common, then I still have to go to the website. With yubnub, you just have to have the keyword memorized for whatever site you want to search and a lot of the time, you don't even need to look it up, you can just guess(mc for metacritic, kat for kickasstorrents, etc).

Start menu only indexes start menu, launchy can index arbitrary folders and file extensions.

Also I use the yubnub plugin with launchy.

This lets me hit alt-space, then another space to activate yubnub, then "yt cats on treadmills" to search youtube or "imdb magnificent seven" for imdb or "wa compare earth and moon" for wolframalpha or "xim kitty" for uncensored google image search etc. there are hundreds of thousands of queries available. you can add your own, and you can search through them with e.g. "<strong>ls reddit</strong>"

This is a direct link. A hotlink would be if the image was embedded directly on the page. Like this.

I personally use YubNub. http://yubnub.org/

Yubnub works similarly, but instead of typing "amazon" you type "am" and enter your search. And it has hundreds of other predefined ones. It rocks.

There is an extension for Safari, if you haven't tried that one.

I use YubNub for a similar use. The first keyword defines the search engine (wp is wikipedia, -s is startpage, g is google, gi is google images, etc.)

Edit: oh and, of course, duckduckgo is dg.

I found myself looking up changelogs all the time and couldn't remember the website to locate them (you have to jump through hoops in order to find it with Google Search). So I created a command through YubNub. Basically, you type in commands into YubNub and it'll show relevant results.

Type ftb-chlog into the box, and it'll bring up the FTB Changelog website. You can also search the changelogs for a specific pack by typing ftb-chlog -pack [Insert Pack Here]. It works with versions too, so typing ftb-chlog -pack Horizons 2.0.1 will bring up the changelog for Horizons 2.0.1.

Don't want to visit yubnub.org every time you want to enter a command? Try this bookmarklet (sorry, but I couldn't get Markdown to read the bookmarklet syntax, so you'll have to go to the website provided in the link to get it). It also works with Google Chrome's "search website for" function, if you use that.

Bitch please: just use Yubnub. It does all of that, but you don't need to add commands yourself to the browser. Just use it in your search bar instead of Google.

Also, you can add your own commands for you and everybody else to use.

I have been using this as my home page for years. Go to yubnub.org for more commands, you can even create your own commands quite easily! I love it and don't know what I'd do without it at this point! Enjoy!

Edit: added Some Reddit-related Tips

Go to Reddit Front Page: rfp

Search Reddit: reddit <query>

Display top comments in a given subreddit: redtop <subreddit>

Acess a particular subreddit: r/ <subreddit>

For a list of Reddit-related commands type: ls reddit

yep, you can integrate yubnub with chome then just type 'y-space' or whatever shortcut you've specified for yub numb), then the yubnub query and BOOM

I hate that search engines are not stored and synced the same way bookmarks do. Also, I really miss the feature in firefox for setting a keyword to a bookmark without the need for it to be a "search engine".

My only workaround through it is to use the yubnub functionality in gleebox.

That process takes too much work, having to set it up every time you find a search box you want to add. Change your default firefox search engine into the one at http://yubnub.org/ then use "ls argument"(example: "ls youtube") to find specific search methods. yt [search term] already works.

You can also use "> yt [search term]" to do a google search of the domain of the second argument(in this case youtube.com) of your term and automatically go to the first result.

If you use yubnub in your browser, you can search wikipedia just by typing "wp <search term>". This will jump direct to the page if one exists for that term.

I use chrome, so yubnub is the default search engine in my url bar. If there is no yubnub operator, it searches google by default.

Useful yubnub operators to remember:

• gim - Google Images
• imdb - IMdB
• yt - YouTube
• a - Amazon
• And so on, I'm sure you get the idea :)
