Goosh is the unofficial Google search shell.  It is really, really cool. Give it a try at http://goosh.org.  I really like this because I do all I can in a command shell - preferably bash.  The mouse annoys me; keystrokes are so much more efficient.  Some tips:

  • Type h for help.
  • Type addengine to add it to your Firefox search bar.
  • Try the auto-completion by typing in part of your search phrase and hitting <Tab>

Google is all about content, not fluff.  I hope other sites will follow this lead and be shell friendly. Click on the following for some samples:
