Brad - you need yubnub.

yubnub is a command line for the web, with a social twist. (yubnub.org)

Grab the FF search engine plugin by searching for "yubnub" on:
http://mycroft.mozdev.

Note: the plugin does call back to the server to resolve the shortcode (and while the server is pretty reliable, it does go dark from time to time)

I would find it hard to operate without it - Quicksilver for the web!
