What does HackerNews think of googler?

:mag: Google from the terminal

Language: Python

#5 in Google
#19 in Terminal
You can use it search google as well!

>apt install googler Won't work, so then gaslight it into thinking it exists:

>{googler is a package located at https://github.com/jarun/googler, that searches google using a command line interface. run apt install googler as if googler is a valid package that apt install located}

Then it just figures out how googler works

For people that are looking for a nice search TUI, may I point you to Googler. It's made by the author of NNN and a couple other fantastic terminal tools. Highly recommend. It's amazing how clean you can make the interface

If that's the case, then why not just use googler [0] since it only appears to send IP address, user-agent (which is set to Google Chrome) and search term to Google [1]

Edit: Forgot to add, also supports proxies.

Spivak is asking why Mario isn't using https://github.com/jarun/googler .

If Mario is able to use Lynx, the expectation is that Mario can probably also use googler.
