| # Search Engine Aliases | ||

| # The idea for this was suggested by Lincoln Mullen's post on | ||
| # configuring Chrome for specific search engines. I source this file | ||
| # in my bashrc, and then use DTerm or the Terminal to quickly search. | ||
| # This method makes Mullen's ideas browser-independent on the Mac. | ||
| # Search engines can be tied to specific browsers using the -a flag for | ||
| # the open command. For more context, see: | ||

| # To prepare plain-text queries for URLs, use python. | ||
| # http://ruslanspivak.com/2010/06/02/urlencode-and-urldecode-from-a-command-line/ | ||
|
|
||
| alias urlencode='python -c "import sys, urllib as ul; print ul.quote_plus(sys.argv[1])"' | ||
| alias urldecode='python -c "import sys, urllib as ul; print ul.unquote_plus(sys.argv[1])"' | ||
|
|
||
| # Use these at the command line by typing the function's name and the | ||
| # query. Queries with more than one word should be enclosed in double | ||
| # quotes. Literal quotes can be added to queries with the escape slash. | ||
| # | ||
| # E.g. | ||
| # | ||
| # scholar abolitionists | ||
| # scholar "American abolitionists" | ||
| # scholar "\"American abolitionists\"" | ||
