Ubiquity rocks! A month or so ago I completely removed the search box from Firefox and started solely using ubiquity for searches.
The one thing that I really missed was a python doc search that I used to have for the search box. For a while I just used the awesome bar to perform google and history searches for python docs but that basically broke when Python 2.6 was released since all the old docs.python.org urls that google returns break because 2.6 has completely new docs provided by Sphinx.
So today I took a break from my “normal” work to write a ubiquity command to bring up the search page from docs.python.org for your input text. You can see the source here and you should be able to install it by viewing this blog post.
In the future I’d like to do better previews of the searches but I can’t seem to find any web API for searching docs.python.org.
Very cool! Do you have any intentions of creating a search enginge plug in for us who don’t want to bother with the bugs in ubiquity?
