search

very simple tool to perform web searches from the terminal written in node. Inspired by zquestz/s (and other cli apps) in functionality, but with a different implementation.

a small experimenting learning js and node (and just having fun).

currently works on osx and linux, no window support yet.

search-cli services are stored in a json configuration file placed in the user's home directory during installation (at ~/.search-cli.json).

search-cli comes with some services already configured by default, but new services can be configured by:

running search-cli with the --configure flag (this runs in interactive mode).
manually editing the configuration file to add a new service.
