NAME

       googler - Google from the command-line

SYNOPSIS

       googler [OPTIONS] [KEYWORD [KEYWORD ...]]

DESCRIPTION

       googler  is  a command-line tool to search Google (web, news, videos and site search) from
       the terminal. Google site search works too. googler shows the title, URL and text  context
       for  each  result.  Results  are  fetched  in  pages.  Next or previous page navigation is
       possible using keyboard shortcuts. Results are indexed and a result URL can be opened in a
       browser  using  the index number. There is no configuration file as aliases serve the same
       purpose for this utility. Supports sequential searches in a single instance.

OPTIONS

       -h, --help
              Show help text and exit.

       -s, --start=N
              Start at the Nth result.

       -n, --count=N
              Show N results (default 10).

       -N, --news
              Show results from news section.

       -c, --tld=TLD
              Country-specific search with top-level domain .TLD, e.g., in for India.

       -l, --lang=LANG
              Search for the language LANG, e.g., fi for Finnish.

       -g, --geoloc=CC
              Country-specific geolocation search with country code  CC,  e.g.  'in'  for  India.
              Country codes are the same as top-level domains.

       -x, --exact
              Disable automatic spelling correction. Search exact keywords.

       -C, --nocolor
              Disable color output.

       --colors=COLORS
              Set output colors. Refer to the COLORS section below for details.

       -j, --first, --lucky
              Open the first result in a web browser; implies --noprompt. Feeling Lucky?

       -t, --time=dN
              Time  limit  search  [h5  (5  hrs), d5 (5 days), w5 (5 weeks), m5 (5 months), y5 (5
              years)].

       -w, --site=SITE
              Search a site using Google.

       -e, --exclude=EXCLUDE
              Exclude site from results.

       --unfilter
              Do not omit similar results.

       -p, --proxy=PROXY
              Tunnel   traffic   through   an   HTTP   proxy.    PROXY    is    of    the    form
              [http://][user:password@]proxyhost[:port].  The  proxy  server  must  support  HTTP
              CONNECT tunneling and must not block port 443 for the relevant Google hosts.  If  a
              proxy  is not explicitly given, the https_proxy environment variable (if available)
              is used instead.

       --noua Disable user agent. Results are fetched faster.

       --notweak
              Disable TCP optimizations. Negotiate Transport Layer Security protocol  instead  of
              forcing  TLS  1.2  (on  Python  3.4  and  above).  Should  be  used only in case of
              connection issues.

       --json Output in JSON format; implies --noprompt.

       --url-handler=UTIL
              Custom script or command-line utility to open urls with.

       --show-browser-logs
              Do not suppress browser output when opening result in  browser;  that  is,  connect
              stdout  and  stderr  of  the  browser  to  googler's  stdout  and stderr instead of
              /dev/null. By default, browser output  is  suppressed  (due  to  certain  graphical
              browsers  spewing messages to console) unless the BROWSER environment variable is a
              known text-based browser: elinks, links, lynx, w3m or www-browser.

       --np, --noprompt
              Perform search and exit; do not prompt for further interactions.

       -u, --upgrade
              Perform in-place self-upgrade. By default,  the  latest  stable  version  is  used.
              However,  the  latest git master is used instead if --include-git is also supplied.
              This mechanism is not available on Windows (including Cygwin), and if you installed
              googler  with  a  package  manager,  this  mechanism may have been disabled by your
              packager at packaging or install time.

       --include-git
              See --upgrade.

       -v, --version
              Show version number and exit.

       -d, --debug
              Enable debugging.

OMNIPROMPT KEYS

       n, p   Fetch the next or previous set of search results.

       index  Open the result corresponding to index in browser.

       f      Jump to the first page.

       o [index|range|a ...]
              Open space-separated result  indices,  numeric  ranges  (sitelinks  unsupported  in
              ranges)  or  all  indices,  if  'a'  is specified, in the browser. Open the current
              search in the browser, if no arguments.

       O [index|range|a ...]
              Works similar to key 'o', but tries to ignore text-based browsers (even if  BROWSER
              is set) and open links in a GUI browser.

       g keywords
              Initiate a new Google search for keywords with original options. This key should be
              used to search omniprompt keys (including itself) and indices.

       c index
              Copy url to clipboard.

       u      Toggle url expansion.

       q, ^D, double Enter
              Exit googler.

       ?      Show omniprompt help.

       *      Any other string initiates a new search with original options.

GOOGLER @T

       googler @t is a convenient add-on to  Google  Site  Search  with  unique  keywords.  While
       googler  has  an  integrated  option to search a site, it could be simplified further with
       aliases.   The   file    googler_at    (https://github.com/jarun/googler/blob/master/auto-
       completion/googler_at/googler_at) contains a list of website search aliases. To source it,
       run:

           source googler_at

       or

           . googler_at

       With googler @t, the following command searches Wikipedia for hexspeak:

           @w hexspeak

       Other googler options can be combined. The shell can be configured to be source  the  file
       at start-up for further convenience.

       All  the  aliases start with the @ symbol (hence the name googler @t) and there is minimum
       chance they will conflict with any shell commands. Users can add new aliases to the file.

COLORS

       googler allows you to customize the color scheme via a six-letter string,  reminiscent  of
       BSD LSCOLORS. The six letters represent the colors of

       - indices
       - titles
       - URLs
       - metadata/publishing info (Google News only)
       - abstracts
       - prompts

       respectively.  The  six-letter  string is passed in either as the argument to the --colors
       option, or as the value of the environment variable GOOGLER_COLORS.

       We offer the following colors/styles:

         ┌───────┬───────────────────────────────────────────────────┐
         │Letter │ Color/Style                                       │

       The default colors string is GKlgxy, which stands for

       - bold bright cyan indices
       - bold bright green titles
       - bright yellow URLs
       - cyan metadata/publishing info
       - normal abstracts
       - reverse video prompts

       Note that

       - Bright colors (implemented as \x1b[90m - \x1b[97m) may not be available  in  all  color-
         capable terminal emulators;

       - Some terminal emulators draw bold text in bright colors instead;

       - Some  terminal  emulators only distinguish between bold and bright colors via a default-
         off switch.

       Please   consult   the    manual    of    your    terminal    emulator    as    well    as
       https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ANSI_escape_code for details.

ENVIRONMENT

       BROWSER
              Overrides the default browser. Ref: http://docs.python.org/library/webbrowser.html

       GOOGLER_COLORS
              Refer to the COLORS section.

       DISABLE_PROMPT_COLOR
              Force a plain omniprompt if you are facing issues with colors at the prompt.

       https_proxy
              Refer to the --proxy option.

       DISABLE_URL_EXPANSION
              Show the domain names in search results instead of the expanded URL.

EXAMPLES

       1.  Google hello world:

              googler hello world

       2.  Fetch  15  results updated within the last 14 months, starting from the 3rd result for
           the keywords jungle book in site imdb.com:

              googler -n 15 -s 3 -t m14 -w imdb.com jungle book

       3.  Read recent news on gadgets:

              googler -N gadgets

       4.  Fetch results on IPL cricket from Google India server in English:

              googler -c in -l en IPL cricket

       5.  Search quoted text:

              googler it\'s a \"beautiful world\" in spring

       6.  Search for a specific file type:

              googler instrumental filetype:mp3

       7.  Disable automatic spelling correction, e.g.  fetch  results  for  googler  instead  of
           google:

              googler -x googler

       8.  I'm feeling lucky search:

              googler -j leather jackets

       9.  Website specific search:

              googler -w amazon.com -w ebay.com digital camera

           Site specific search continues at omniprompt.

       10. Alias to find definitions of words:

              alias define='googler -n 2 define'

       11. Look  up  n,  p,  o,  O,  q,  g  keywords  or a result index at the omniprompt: as the
           omniprompt recognizes these keys or index strings as commands, you need to prefix them
           with g, e.g.,

              g n
              g g keywords
              g 1

       12. Input and output redirection:

              googler -C hello world < input > output

           Note that -C is required to avoid printing control characters (for colored output).

       13. Pipe output:

              googler -C hello world | tee output

       14. Use a custom color scheme, e.g., one warm color scheme designed for Solarized Dark:

              googler --colors bjdxxy google

              GOOGLER_COLORS=bjdxxy googler google

       15. Tunnel  traffic  through  an  HTTPS proxy, e.g., a local Privoxy instance listening on
           port 8118:

              googler --proxy localhost:8118 google

           By default the environment variable https_proxy is used, if defined.

       16. Quote multiple search keywords to auto-complete (using completion script):

              googler 'hello w<TAB>
