Andrew Pennebaker's Ideas:

Address Bar + Search Bar

Integrate yubnub.org search with the address bar. Anything not considered a URL is searched. Other search engines may be used as well; Google, Yahoo, MSN..

How would this differ from the current smart keywords? --Greg K Nicholson

Advanced search engines

Regex Current Page Find

Find within Forms

"I'm feeling lucky" or such option for all search engines.

Bookmark Search: find duplicates, find newest, find recently updated.

Places/Bookmarks

  • Detect duplicates
  • Sync mode. Keep Delicious/Shadows/etc bookmark services constantly in sync with bookmarks.
  • Online mode. Do not store bookmarks locally. Retrieve them from bookmark services. Store some heavily accessed bookmarks (i.e. Bookmarks Toolbar) to lessen traffic.
  • Use the prefetching system for autofetching, since that already has to handle the "It followed a link that deleted my entire site!" problem that we could hit here.
