|
8 The engine is specified by a single-character code that precedes the |
|
9 actual query, e.g. 'w pancakes' would search en.wikipedia.org for the st… |
|
10 'pancakes'. This reduces the necessary shell plumbing to a couple of pip… |
|

|

|
13 Character ugliness in the query is avoided using od and tr. This |
|
14 has worked so far. |
|
15 |
|
16 **EDIT:** Replaced xxd with od and eliminated a sed pipe. Replaced cut p… |
|
17 with sh variable expansion. |
