Surfraw – CLI to a variety of search engines

Surfraw was originally created by Julian Assange. I&#x27;ve found it while playing with stumpwm - a Common LISP window manager (see <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;github.com&#x2F;stumpwm&#x2F;stumpwm-contrib&#x2F;blob&#x2F;master&#x2F;util&#x2F;surfraw&#x2F;README.org" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;github.com&#x2F;stumpwm&#x2F;stumpwm-contrib&#x2F;blob&#x2F;master&#x2F;util&#x2F;...</a>)

Thanks! I&#x27;ve been using YubNub[0] for a long time, but decided to stop for privacy reasons: all my searches were proxied through it, and it doesn&#x27;t even use HTTPS.<p>Now I&#x27;m using DDG&#x27;s !bang syntax, but there&#x27;s no way to add new entries yourself.<p>I have to say that YubNub&#x27;s functionality was quite comprehensive, and it seems definitely easier than writing new elivs for Surfraw. I&#x27;ll give it a try nevertheless.<p>[0]: <a href="http:&#x2F;&#x2F;yubnub.org&#x2F;" rel="nofollow">http:&#x2F;&#x2F;yubnub.org&#x2F;</a>

It acts like Alfred web search, but in command line. I still prefer Alfred, but for those who use Linux it is convenient if you do not use vimperator.
