wallhog

wallhog

Web search from cmd.

$ wh <keyword> will:

• open your default browser
• search via the 'general' search engine(s) - search engine(s) tagged as 'general' in ./tunnels/tunnels.json

If specific search engine(s) required, you could $ wh -t <tag> <keyword>

• e.g. $ wh -t book <keyword> will search via the search engine(s) tagged as 'book' in ./tunnels/tunnels.json
• if multiple tags, you could $ wh -t "<tag1> <tag2> ... <tagN>" <keyword>. wallhog would search with the engines with all the tags.

Setup

$ go get github.com/vjyq/wallhog
$ cd $(go env GOPATH)/src/github.com/vjyq/wallhog/bin
$ bash shortcut.sh

Then just restart your terminal.

Customize wallhog

By default wallhog loads the search engines in ./tunnels/tunnels.json, you could customize it with your search preference.

For an update, you need to do 2 things:

• update ./tunnels/tunnels.json. Assume you want to add 'Google' with a tag 'general', open ./tunnels/tunnels.json and include the following lines:

{
  "name": "Google",
  "url": "https://www.google.com/search?q=",
  "tags": ["general"]
},

• then rebuild the src code:

$ cd $(go env GOPATH)/src/github.com/vjyq/wallhog
$ go install

Highly recommend you share your search engine(s) through a pull request. PR name please follow:

• [new engine] <engine-name>

e.g. '[new engine] Google'

You could also submit an issue if you require my help. Issue name please refer to PR name.
