Using a combination of Surfraw, Yubnub, Firefox, and Yakuake.
(You can use tilda or really any terminal to do this with, I just had problems with tilda and yakuake seems a bit more stable)
First, lets get the needed files...
- Code: Select all
sudo apt-get install surfraw yakuake
Now. we need to configure our .bashrc
- Code: Select all
*Your Text Editor Here* ~/.bashrc
scroll all the way down and add.
- Code: Select all
alias yb='sr yubnub'
Now, start Yakuake and press f12 to have your terminal drop down. Then type
- Code: Select all
yb g google.com
If firefox is open, this command will start a new tab and search google.com for google.com
There you go. up and running, just type yb "parameters here" from now on to use the power of yub nub to search the web very powerfully, very quickly.
For those not familiar with yub nub, it is a very powerful, pseudo-command line for the web. For a bit of help using it. type
- Code: Select all
yb ls
to get a list of commands.
Good luck.
