Really cool, but I see it more as a curiosity than something useful.

#22It's cool as a programming exercise, but I just can't see it being useful for me. If it can do something else, that might be cool, but it can't do much. ^k and dictionary bookmarks in firefox are far superior to using that shell. Dictionary bookmarks, for all those unaware, are a beautiful feature I rarely hear about. For example, go to en.wikipedia.org and right click inside the search text box on the left. Click on…
Yeah, the dictionary bookmarks is probably the most hidden feature of FF, despite it saves time and is something each browser should have. I've stumbled upon it just recently, but I'm using it heavily every day since...

if you use the noscript firefox-extension you have to add "ajax.googleapis.com" to the whitelist.

#25Anybody use YubNub: "a command line for the Web" (http://yubnub.org)?
It's a similar idea that's been around for a few years.

#27This seems to be giving me different results than google.com for many queries (examples: my name, "java", "specialtys") . I presume this is because searches I do on google.com are personalized to my search history and whatever other data google has on me...

#28Googling for "goosh google" gives me lots of results on Goosh, but Gooshing (...) for the same gives me 0 results on Goosh. Is this not live data?
Google has many datacenters. You probably used a different one then Goosh. Not everybody sees the same results on google.
I knew that there are many datacenters, but I expected them to be more or less in sync. However, the results have been totally different for many hours today, and are still only half the same.
