flp = Feeling Lucky, Punk?


This command tests the parameter to see if it contains a space.  If the parameter contains a space, then YubNub executes the command.  Thus, "flp ls flp" will bring you to this page.  If, however, the parameter does not contain a space, then the command passes the parameter to Google's "I'm Feeling Lucky" search.  Thus, "flp soulive" will take you to whatever you have defined

This command is designed to keep YubNub free of unnecessary bookmarks.  Using Google's search wiki feature, users signed-in to their Google accounts can now direct Google to bring up a particular URL when executing a search with "I'm feeling lucky."  Using this feature, users can now use the Google search wiki for bookmarks that have no parameters instead of creating a YubNub command for that bookmark (e.g. bark).

YubNub is a fantastic tool for executing complicated commands.  Simple bookmarks that redirect to a URL are somewhat wasteful uses of YubNub's excellent features.  By using "flp" in tandem with Google's search wiki features, users can YubNub with greater respect for their fellow YubNubber.
