Usage

Create the file ".webcmd.json" in your home directory with content similar to this:

{
  "g": "https://www.google.com/search?q=%s",
  "wp": "https://en.wikipedia.org/?search=%s",
  "gim": "https://www.google.com/search?q=%s&um=1&ie=UTF-8&hl=en&tbm=isch",
  "twits": "https://twitter.com/#!/search/%s"
}

Then start webcmd.rb. Add a new search engine in your browser, with the url http://localhost:8000/?q=%s (the exact syntax might be different, this is an example for Google Chrome)

Now you can use "g cats" to search for "cats" on google, or "wp dogs" to search for dogs on Wikipedia.

You can stop the server by using the server:stop command. Type server:help to see all available commands.
