Unfortunately, it looks like Ubiquity development has stalled. Project Founder Aza Raskin and the core Ubiquity team are working on other projects and no one appears to have stepped up to manage this awesome plugin.
An alternative to Ubiquity (at least partially) is combining bookmark-keywords with bookmarklets. For example create a bookmark with keyword 'h', and the following location:
javascript:void(location.href='http://www.google.com/search?as_q=%s&num=10&btnG=%s&as_epq=&as_oq=&as_eq=&lr=&cr=&as_ft=i&as_filetype=&as_qdr=all&as_occt=any&as_dt=i&as_sitesearch='+location.href.split("/")[2]+'&as_rights=&safe=off')
Then you can go to some site and do a site specific Google search by typing "h some searchterms" in the url bar. But the javascript can be used for basically anything, not only for searches.
]]>I've switched to Chromium, mostly due to the quick start time. Chromium learns which sites have search available, and then lets you search by hitting tab after entering the URL. When it works, it's very nice, but sometimes it randomly doesn't let you hit tab. Most of the time, it works for wiki.archlinux.org and aur.archlinux.org, apparently I have searched bbs.archlinux.org much lately, since that one's not working for me.

Obviously that's the UK mirror - adjust as necessary. Also not entirely sure that all the arguments are optimal, but it works... (suggestions welcome!)
