I think design 1 with an added really bright red x button would work more then well, as long as it doesn’t brake the other workings of the awesomebar.

That way, you don’t generally force it to everyone and you would get feedback on it from people, that aren’t as technically inclined, as we early adopters are.

It already has much of Ubiquity’s working functionality; it’s a Verb Bar to Awesome Bar’s (Proper) Noun Bar. Maybe you could play with giving the Search Bar a little more width and seeing how it looks.

Search bar must die!!! I have already switched it of and use Search keywords only (search keywords are kind of forgotten and yet they are doing essentially the same what Ubiquity does now).

Briefly, they are find, identify, select, and obtain. ,

Well, since it seems quite natural to use / to get to a seach maybe the text interface should start #!

Slightly off-topic I think if ubiquity moves to awesomebar/searchbar the adding of the selected text preview needs to come with.
So the new design would be the command with the selected text, followed by the command without the selected text.

I would also prefer to have a unified location bar instead of locationbar-searchbar duo.

Aza, as what you always say: Let’s reduce the UI. Personally I like design #1. No additional elements or pop-ups which will irritate users. Only the wanted output is visible. All together a good reuse of the awesome bar.

Mouse and Keyboard interface should ideally be the same. In your words “Fewer choices means fewer worries”

I’m actually a little surprised that this hasn’t been brought up already but I think #1 needs to be tweaked a bit.

Design #1 mixes metaphors too much with the identity button. The identity button is a place for *website* identity and *security* information. Ubiquity does not have anything to do with website identity and security. Obviously, #1 looks better than the rest because it is more polished. However, I think #2 (with more polish, and maybe #1’s drop-down menu) would be the best choice.

Also, just a thought, you might want to consider renaming the Location Bar to the Action Bar if the Location bar and Ubiquity are combined.

Keep up the good work, guys!
