Note: Should work anywhere you have access to a Factotum (Plan9, 9front, plan9port)
go get github.com/halfwit/google
go install github.com/halfwit/google
google [[-i] [-it type] [-is size] [-ic color] [-id scale]] [-m results] [-r url] [-a key] [-f type] [-e match] [-x exclude] [ -s safe] query
- -m Number of results per query
- -r Search for sites related to [url]
- -a Use API key instead of factotum
- -f File type [bmp|gif|png|jpg|svg|pdf]
- -e Match string exactly
- -x Phrase to exclude
- -s Safe search [active|high|medium|off]
- -i Image search
- -it Image type [clipart|face|lineart|news|photo]
- -is Image size [huge|icon|large|medium|small|xlarge|xxlarge]
- -ic Image color [black|blue|brown|gray|green|orange|ping|purple|red|teal|white|yellow]
- -id Image scale [color|gray|mono]
To use this, you need an API key for Google Custom Search engine. See https://developers.google.com/custom-search/v1/introduction, select "Get A Key"
Additionally, you also have to create a Custom Search Engine itself.
When you create a Custom Search Engine, you'll also get a cx
key.
Store these keys in your Factotum
gcli
- your API key (AIza...)gcse
- your CSE key
Using this, I was able to complete a search with 50 results, in 0.03 seconds.
A similar search on the popular Python program googler
was roughly 0.19 seconds.
