Sorry unrelated, but just realized DuckDuckGo has hash bang syntax for hackernews!

!hackernews which leads to a hnsearch.com search results!

I've been using it as my default search engine for about 2/3 weeks now and its been unnoticeable (in a good way)

I am amazed that so few people have ever heard of YubNub[1]. It's a service that provides this kind of feature (`g foo' to google, `gim bar' for google images, `am baz' for amazon, etc.), plus some advanced tricks (multiple parameters, default values, command combination).

Anybody can create commands.

It's a hidden gem, and I love it.

FYI: !hn or !yc is shorter (take your pick).
