Problem with interface picking incorrect commands
Okay so I don't know how ubiquitous (heh) this problem is, but I often use ubiquity to search for things using wikipedia. In 1.0.2 they added the feature that would search inside commands to help, such as using "link-to-wikipedia" if you type in "wikipedia". However, this needs to be improved because most of the time I want to use "wikipedia" instead of "link-to-wikipedia". I can also see how this can be a problem for a lot of other commands if there are overlaps in the command name. It might have something to do with "link" coming before "wikipedia" alphabetically, but in this case I'd prefer to use wikipedia. This is also annoying because even if I type "wikipedia" out completely it will still use the link command as the first command. And a big part of ubiquity for me is to be able to pull things up fast, which is hampered greatly by this problem.
This problem can probably be fixed by giving priority to commands that match the typed command exactly. Or add some sort of method to use the command with the highest number of matches or something like that.

Inappropriate?Had this exact same problem. If the point of this tool is for ease of use it should allow precedence of multiple commands either based on user choice or frequency of use, because alphabet in this case is always going to be the wrong choice. Or just shorten wikipedia down to wiki and make typing a command always match the exact string first and then alphabetize them.

Inappropriate?I have this problem too, and I found the only solution that works it typing "wik" as your shortcut for Wikipedia. Mind you, typing "wiki" is a lot faster, but even that seems to use the link-to-wikipedia command.

It's really weird. Sometimes it gives the correct choice, sometimes it gives it second, and sometimes "wikipedia" doesn't even show up!
I know there are abbreviations that work, but if ubiquity is supposed to make things easier this problem should be fixed.
