DrubNub

drubnub-demo.gif

The DrubNub module provides functionality similar to YubNub.org, allowing users to create search shortcut commands. DrubNub is most useful when paired with desktop launcher utilities such as Quicksilver or Launchy. Users can then easily access the same search shortcuts from multiple computers.

Commands can be entered into the "Command Line" form along with search terms and DrubNub will then redirect the user to the search results page on the site designated by the command. For example, the "g" command performs a search on Google.com. Entering "g Drupal" into the DrubNub command line will redirect the user to the Google.com results page for a search of the term Drupal.

In addition to the built-in commands for searching Google or Yahoo, users can create custom commands to search just about any site.

The DrubNub module is functional, but still under development. Do not use this module on a production site. The command import functionality is especially experimental.
