Poor suggestions for searches
Was just trying to do a Twitter search for some text in 0.5pre2 under Firefox 3.5b4, and figured I could just type "search twitter <query>" to get going, but as you can see from the attached screenshots the suggestions I was given were very poor. It didn't help that I had some irrelevant text selected on the underlying page, but even deselecting that didn't really improve matters.
I guess strictly you need to type "search with X <query>", but I think it should offer that even if you just type "search <single_word_that_is_a_known_search_engine> <query>"
</query></single_word_that_is_a_known_search_engine></query></query>

I’m disappointed

Inappropriate?Hmm.
Hmmmmmmm.
Actually right now it works as "search blah with search engine" and also as "search engine blah". But in your case your search engine has the same name as an actual Ubiquity command that does something different, which is an edge case at least I hadn't considered.
I'll bump this to someone who can speak better about the parser design and if this is or is not possible.
