It&#8217;s one of the most pleasent programming experiences in a long time. With this command you just type: metal metallica and it will bring you to the metallica page on metal-archives.net (in a new tab of course).<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/people.iola.dk\/anders\/metal-archives.js\">The source\u00c2\u00a0for Ubiquity 0.1.X<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/people.iola.dk\/anders\/metal-archives-0.5.js\">The source for Ubiquity 0.5.X<\/a>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The other day I was reading about this new project from mozilla labs called ubiquity.
