This plugin adds aliases for searching with Google, Wiki, Bing, YouTube and other popular services.
Open your ~/.zshrc file and enable the web-search plugin:
plugins=( ... web-search)
You can use the web-search plugin in these two forms:
web_search <context> <term> [more terms if you want]<context> <term> [more terms if you want]For example, these two are equivalent:
$ web_search google oh-my-zsh $ google oh-my-zsh
Available search contexts are:
Context URLbing https://www.bing.com/search?q= google https://www.google.com/search?q= yahoo https://search.yahoo.com/search?p= ddg or duckduckgo https://www.duckduckgo.com/?q= sp or startpage https://www.startpage.com/do/search?q= yandex https://yandex.ru/yandsearch?text= github https://github.com/search?q= baidu https://www.baidu.com/s?wd= ecosia https://www.ecosia.org/search?q= goodreads https://www.goodreads.com/search?q= qwant https://www.qwant.com/?q= givero https://www.givero.com/search?q= stackoverflow https://stackoverflow.com/search?q= wolframalpha https://wolframalpha.com/input?i= archive https://web.archive.org/web/*/ scholar https://scholar.google.com/scholar?q=
Also there are aliases for bang-searching DuckDuckGo:
Context Bangwiki !w news !n youtube !yt map !m image !i ducky !
If you want to add other search contexts to the plugin, you can use the $ZSH_WEB_SEARCH_ENGINES variable. Set it before Oh My Zsh is sourced, with the following format:
ZSH_WEB_SEARCH_ENGINES=(
<context> <URL>
<context> <URL>
)
where <context> is the name of the search context, and <URL> a URL of the same type as the search contexts above. For example, to add reddit, you'd do:
ZSH_WEB_SEARCH_ENGINES=(reddit "https://www.reddit.com/search/?q=")
These custom search engines will also be turned to aliases, so you can both do web_search reddit <query> or reddit <query>.
