gadv
Advanced Google search: no more clicking on advanced options! To use Google’s Advanced Search filters (like the filetype, language, and publication date of the search results), just use the switches detailed below. Note: this was adapted from my Advanced Google Images search (maybe more specialized Google searches to follow). For a basic search (very similar if not exactly the same as using YubNub’s default Google search), type “gadv” and then the term(s) to be searched for. Example: gadv porsch...

amr
I really like this command. It uses a single parameter, your search phrase, but whats so good about it is it takes that parameter and uses google to pick out a page from amazon with product reviews of your search and automatically direct you to it. Try it out: amr ipod shuffle amr micro hard drive amr memorex traveldrive A very useful command, especially for looking up an item before purchasing it off of ebay. I almost bought the result for "micro hard drive" from ebay before I read those review...

>
In practice, what ">" does is search a "content" website through Google for your query and send you straight to the first result. It is convenient because it builds on your knowledge of Yubnub commands and because it is often more direct. Here's a more precise description: Yubnub generates a URL by interpreting the 1st param as a Yubnub command, it then extracts a domain name from that URL and uses it to configure a Google Feeling Lucky search for the 2nd param.

gima
Advanced Google Images search: now you can use all the filters of Google Images Advanced Search (like specifying image size, color, and websites searched) without having to add arcane symbols or click through dialogs! Just add the corresponding switches and you're good to go! Just like with searching Google Images normally with "gim," you can do a basic search by typing a word or phrase after "gima" (although this one-ups "gim" since it searches for "icon" and "xxlarge" images by default as well...
