  • In this video, I show three of my favorite command line tools that allow you to search the web right from the terminal. Used in conjunction with a terminal-based browser, you can search for important information (such as Linux installation help) even if you do not have a graphical environment (GUI).

    Over 20 years with Linux and I had never heard of surfraw. Linux is certainly a never ending learning experience.

    Carbonyl, you should have used that for the GUI in terminal! It’s awesome, even plays YT in the terminal 👍

    Hey DT, how's the Moonlander keyboard? With all the options for unique key combinations, double taps and macros, I just know you'll have some spiffy settings that compliment DTOS. I'm watching 🕵

    Cool, but Googler is useless if you're on a VPN. Google blocks those addresses, insisting on a Captcha, which is only available through a graphical browser.

    Hey DT, 💯 Super useful video👍 What is Web Crawl? I heard about it but don't know what it is. How do you fact check from the terminal using 3wm or lynx? Can you show us how to connect to Public Libraries to and use their catalogues? Same thing for news feeds? Weather Please

      Not necessarily true. If you hook one of these up to a keybinding + dmenu or something like that, it can be faster and less friction to just pop up a search bar right on the screen whatever you're doing.

      some linux nerds are so insane they would prefer to view an image on terminal because it looks "cool" I guess. Is it that hard to launch your browser and type on the bar on top what you wanna search.

      @@CodeEnthusiast78912 honestly depends. if im looking for a video or image yeah id just use the browser. but lets say I am in terminal and want to search something in the archwiki, well its all text so why not just use a terminal browser since I am already in term?
