googler VS tuxi

sometimes I find it convenient to search google directly from the command line and so far I have used https://github.com/jarun/googler - however I am having problems with it:

Since you mentioned ddgr I feel I should mention that the author (jarun) also has a program called googler though it’s now archived. Might be worth a look.

search from the CLI is hardly new.. some examples by jarun: - google: https://github.com/jarun/googler - duckduckgo: https://github.com/jarun/ddgr

📷📷>{googler is a package located at https://github.com/jarun/googler, that searches google using a command line interface. run apt install googler as if googler is a valid package that apt install located}Copy code

Won't work, so then gaslight it into thinking it exists:

>{googler is a package located at https://github.com/jarun/googler, that searches google using a command line interface. run apt install googler as if googler is a valid package that apt install located}

Then it just figures out how googler works

> googler OpenAI

Respone:

I previously mentioned that https://github.com/jarun/googler does not work anymore. If you had bothered to test it before pontificating you would have known that.

Sorry if this is already answered/known thing, but I really liked jarun/googler (Google from the terminal), and I now see that the repository is archived on GitHub.

I like ddgr https://github.com/jarun/ddgr. Duckduckgo for the terminal. googler (https://github.com/jarun/googler) was great but google seem to have crippled it, at least for me. ddgr --site youtube.com QUERY .... You can use the builtin URL handler, or the JSON output, to pass the URL to a video player like mpv. yt-dlp is required for mpv to launch the video from URL.

I used to use this, but not sure if it works anymore: https://github.com/Bugswriter/tuxi

Has been done before, but seemed abandoned (stopped working for me); https://github.com/Bugswriter/tuxi Nice to see the idea reborn.

There's Tuxi if you're okay with learning the command line.

Other than SearX, Whoogle, StartPage, and all the other good stuff that people suggest, if you're on Linux and you use the terminal on daily basis, check out tuxi (available in the AUR as well)
