Purpose

Goopal is a command line search program. The purpose of Goopal is to allow developers to perform a search within their current working terminal as opposed to leaving the terminal and opening a browser.

Project Overview

Goopal is built with Node, Cheerio, Request and Chalk. It is a command line utility for searching the web.

This repo is a fork of Goo, the original project that I contributed to. I wanted to expand the search options to include a Drupal-specific search, among others, so I've used Goo as a foundation for building this project on.

Currently, Terminal-Search searches Wikipedia, Stack Overflow, and Drupal.

Local Project Setup

Make sure you have npm and node installed, then run:

npm install -g terminal-search

The npm package can be found here.

Usage

goopal [query] yields an answer from Wikipedia, Stack Overflow, or Drupal

• the next top answer (Stack Overflow)
• the next paragraph chunk (Wikipedia)
• the next comment (Drupal)
