Ubiquity was an experiment Firefox add-on released by Mozilla back in 2008. It basically added a command line interface to the browser to search almost everything on the web using Google search engine. According to the Ubiquity homepage, the first phase of the experiment was successfully ended in 2009. Some of its feature has been integrated to Jetpack, another experiment add-on developed by Mozilla to allow web developers to develop Firefox add-ons more easily. Mozilla stated on the Ubiquity homepage that it will launch second phase of the experiment in “indefinite future”.

I used Ubiquity long time ago. In my experience, it is very easy to use, best for people who love using the command line. However, I always forgot to use Ubiquity by pressing Ctrl+Space when I was doing my research rather than use the search bar. Maybe sometimes in the future Mozilla should add the option to add Ubiquity onto the Firefox toolbar in their Phase II experimentation.
