Simple script to simplify stuff.

websearch

Just a script I use to add fast web-searches anywhere.

Why? Because I missed the ability to use any search-engine simply by hitting a key-combo, typing a few words and hitting enter.

this script currently uses:

hURL for URL work

yad for GUI interaction.

Examples:

google web-search from xfce4-appfinder

google image-search from xfce4-appfinder that lists only svg images

ToDo:

Add example with bash aliases.

Use a case selector instead of all those if-blocks

Re-add the terminal output I removed.

Add support for xdg-open etc. and maybe a simple auto-search for a fallback-browser in path.

Add support for zenity and notify-send.

Find alternatives to hURL. (or script a simple one?)
