Surfraw provides a fast unix command line interface to a variety of
|
|
popular WWW search engines and other artifacts of power. It reclaims
|
|
google, altavista, babelfish, dejanews, freshmeat, research index,
|
|
slashdot and many others from the false-prophet, pox-infested heathen
|
|
lands of html-forms, placing these wonders where they belong, deep in
|
|
unix heartland, as god loving extensions to the shell.
|
|
|
|
Surfraw abstracts the browser away from input. Doing so lets it get on
|
|
with what it's good at. Browsing. Interpretation of linguistic forms is
|
|
handed back to the shell, which is what it, and human beings are good
|
|
at. Combined with netscape-remote or incremental text browsers, such as
|
|
links (http://artax.karlin.mff.cuni.cz/~mikulas/links/),
|
|
w3m (http://www.w3m.org/), and screen(1) a Surfraw liberateur is
|
|
capable of navigating speeds that leave GUI tainted idolaters agape
|
|
with fear and wonder.
