#2The auto-suggest gets annoying because it's always displayed. You should only display it when you have a partial match.
This query crashes the site: http://www.pycmds.org/#youtube search for miley

I should mention somewhere that the inputs should be surrounded by square brackets. Try this:
http://www.pycmds.org/#youtube search for [miley]
The auto-suggest is supposed to only display partial matches like you said. What browser/operating system are you using?

#4You need to tell people to enable javascript.
Also please make the obvious commands like "help" or "info" do something useful.

#5Bug report, when doing a search for 'albums by [muse]' (btw oops is not spelled opps ;-)):
Opps! You found a bug. Here's the skinny:
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "/base/data/home/apps/pycmds/1.34/main.py", line 36, in get
out = self.dispatch(cmd)
File "/base/data/home/apps/pycmds/1.34/main.py", line 59, in dispatch
data = func(**kwargs)

#7I did the same thing as you - http://geeky.siong1987.com . Anyway, I really love the way you layout your web application and it has better UI than mine. Work hard on it. My application does support API developed by developers. But, I implemented this feature in a very poor architectured way.
So, I really think that you should add the features that other developers can developer commands for you

#8It's cool, but I don't see how it's useful at all. Some of the commands are even more verbose than going to google and typing in a search.

#91)Why require brackets? They seem superfluous. Unless theres something in the design of your code that requires them, I see them doing no good. 2)Shorthand versions of commands. "wiki stargate" instead of "wikipedia stargate"
3) The UI is nice. It took me a second to realize it wasn't a plug-in/extension like Ubiquity, but I had to type in commands at the bottom.
What are you reasons for making this app? I like it, but I can't see myself using it every day.

#10It's DOM-injectable:
http://www.pycmds.org/#albums%20by%20['foo']%22%20onclick=%22alert(1)%22
It gives me Python stack traces on most funky commands.
