Subject: Doing a broadband search and more Metadata
Hi

the best feature i like is the preview of the search commands, Because
you get immediate results and so see if you misspelled your searchterm
or that you dont need to type the whole sentence.
But i dont know why i need to specify where i want to search. I want
to search just everywhere. So i started working on a command that
shows the preview of multiple search commands. I put up this
experimental one on my homepage (http://larswolter.de) but it is
definitely experimental. There are many points that need to be solved.

At the moement it goes thru your list of available commands and trys
to find the ones that search for something. This is done by the Label
for the argument at the moment. A better way using some metadata would
be nice.

The commands preview function is then called giving it a created div
where it can render its preview.All those divs now float around in the
preview area. You can find a image of it here: http://larswolter.de/multisearch.jpg
THe layout has to be more usefull. maybe the whole ubiquity window
should be expanded to give each preview enough space.

And one import thing is what to do on execute, Should it be possible
to choose from all the results or just select a command an go on from
there...

One thing that i hope for in future Ubiquity commands is more metadata
about there input/output types for example. That would allow other
commands better reusage. It would also be usefull to find out which
commands could be coupled together in a pipe like fashion

Happy to here your comments

greetings
Lars
