NAME

       opensearch-genquery - Output the URL of a query generated from an OpenSearch Description

SYNOPSIS

       opensearch-genquery [-q] [-H] [-A] [-R] [-c COUNT] [-i INDEX] [-p PAGENUM] [-l LANG] [-O ENC] [-I ENC]
       URL SEARCH TERMS...

DESCRIPTION

       Output the URL of a query generated from an OpenSearch Description file at URL, with the specified
       SEARCH TERMS and other options filled in.

       If multiple search types are available, -H, -A and -R can be used to specify which type is wanted. For
       example, -A -R can be used to request an Atom response, or failing that fall back to RSS. By default the
       first URL found in the description file is used.

       Not all web sites implement all (or any) of the optional OpenSearch parameters. When used with those
       sites, the corresponding options will be silently ignored.

OPTIONS

       -q  Give no output on errors. In this case, consult the exit code to determine errors (See
           "DIAGNOSTICS").

       -H  Request HTML response.

       -A  Request Atom response.

       -R  Request RSS response.

           -H, -A, and -R can be combined to express response type priority and specify fallback types.

       -c COUNT, --count=COUNT

           OpenSearch parameter: language.

       -O ENC, --outputencoding=ENC
           Request results encoded in ENC (default: UTF-8).
