This is a simple CLI program that searches in your favorite search engine using your system's default browser.

# Search using stdin
kweri

# Search your favorite engine for "I like turtles"
kweri "I like turtles"

# returns help text
kweri --help

# returns the version
kweri --version

I found that I was wanting to do a google or duckduckgo search from my cli more often and the process of tabbing out into the browser and clicking the address bar was getting annoying.

kweri will create a default config file with sample search engines and tell you where the config file was created on first use.

Create an alias for kweri to something like q.

alias q=kweri

This allows you to quickly search in the cli like so.

q "I like turtles"

• Would be nice to allow for stdin if you don't pass a query string?

You can do this by either sending me crypto or going to my ko-fi profile.
