Integrate YubNub into Firefox's Address Bar for Faster Searches


The Google Operating System posts a clever hack that shuttles the power of quick-search site YubNub into the Firefox address bar, making searching through multiple engines a fast and no-mouse-required affair. To pull it off, type about:config dialog into your address bar, then head to the keyword.URL value and change it to:

http://www.yubnub.org/parser/parse?default=g2&command=

Now you can type in gim whatever to pull off a Google Image search, flint x to search Flickr with a most interesting sorting, and glh x to search a certain lifehack-centered blog via Google. Hit the link below for more YubNub integration tips, and check out Wendy's feature on YubNub for search ideas.
