For people that are looking for a nice search TUI, may I point you to Googler. It's made by the author of NNN and a couple other fantastic terminal tools. Highly recommend. It's amazing how clean you can make the interface https://github.com/jarun/googler Screenshot of Googler in action when it's nice and clean https://snid.es/2021OCT/YG4OXAlXg4INZWPe.png

It looks like it doesnt respect $LINES (or something similar). On first try, the top 2 results scrolled off the screen.

It's a CLI, not a TUI. I put quite a bit of thought into that decision, and whether to integrate a pager. See [1]. The workarounds are (1) limit the number of results per page with -n ; (2) use the -r, --reverse option to show the top results last.

It would be nice if there was a way to run a terminal command without auto-scrolling. So often I run something that spits out tons of error messages, only to have to scroll back up again to find out what happened.

Is it just me that this won't search for multiple words? Tried even in double quotes. Only single terms returns any result.

Might be more apt to mention the same authors version of googler for duckduckgo, https://github.com/jarun/ddgr .

Those are both awesome. Are there any options to combine the two?

Maybe use the latter with !g

Yeesh, the ignorance of the folks in those threads. Painful. Anyways, if someone can't get to non-v6 resources, they have bigger problems than not being able to use DDG. There is a single class of operator for whom v6 deployment actually makes sense, which is large-scale ISPs for whom CGNAT presents an onerous burden on their reporting/monitoring requirements to law enforcement. Everyone else is just rolling v6 out t…

Everyone else is just rolling v6 out to meet the requirement of a client (typically government) contract. I'm holding out for ipv8, where someone sensibly just slaps a 1. in front of ipv4 style addresses, which to stacks means route to old ipv4. Then we have all we need with an extra octlet. We could even reserve a bunch for off-planet communicates, eg 100. = moon, 101 = mars, etc. All existing tools, code, etc would…

Wikipedia quote, 2050...

"IPv6 was a failed standard, an attempt to.... " "replaced by more sensible IPv8..."
