I seem to find myself relying on google almost as much as I do man, especially from the console.
And it gets tiring to type "links google.com" then whatever I'm wanting to search for.
So I did what any good geek would do, and wrote a script.
Just toss it into /usr/sbin and it works just like man.
For example:| Code Sample | | google linux small 50mb |
would search google for the words linux, small, and 50mb.
I made it to work with up to 9 words, but it's easy to increase this, and I'm sure you will be able to figure it out. :P But I rarely search for more than 6 words, so I figure 9 is plenty for most people.
Anyways, enough talk. Here's the code:
| Code Sample | #/bin/bash
# man-like clone that searches google
# created by SaidinUnleashed, aka J.P. Nimmo
s1=$1
s2=$2
s3=$3
s4=$4
s5=$5
s6=$6
s7=$7
s8=$8
s9=$9
exec links http://www.google.com/search?\&q\=$s1\+$s2\+$s3\+$s4\+$s5\+$s6\+$s7\+$s8\+$s9 |
Remember to save it as "google" , and as root, move it to /usr/sbin, then as root, chmod +x it to make it executable by everyone.
Hope you find this handy.
