Introduction
Can I do Google Search on a Linux terminal?, Is it possible to Search Google from a Linux terminal?. While spending time on your terminal especially as a Sysadmin or Developer or DevOps, I believe sometimes you wonder if it could be possible to search for something online like the way Google does without leaving the warmth and comfort of your blinking cursor against a dark background. You are not alone buddy, and thanks to a group of guys who decided to step up and make this fantasy a reality.
Welcome to googler!! Your thoughts and wishes have been granted by this wonderful tool. googler is a power tool to Google (Web & News) and Google Site Search from the command-line. Oh, yea!! googler shows the title, URL and abstract for each result, which can be directly opened in a browser from the terminal.
What is more, fun is that you can integrate it with a text-based browser and you get to have it all on your terminal. It includes shell completion scripts that make sure you don’t need to remember any options during your search times.
