# Simple Search

Simple search is a program that prompts you for a search, then opens the webbrowser of choice and searches the search engine of choice with that search,

this is a program I made for myself so i can press super+s and a dmenu window pops up so i can search very very easily

here is a very *very* basic one line implementation of this

```sh

surf "duckduckgo.com$(echo "" | dmenu -p "Search:")"

```

# Usage

`simple-search `

# Install

```sh

git clone https://www.github.com/euro20179/simple-search

cd simple-search

chdmod +x simple-search

sudo cp simple-search /usr/local/bin

```

# dependencies

* grep

* sed

* a webbrowser (the default is surf)

# Config

there are a few environment variables,

`KEEP_SS_HISTORY`, whether or not to keep a log of searches in `SS_HISTORY`

`SS_HISTORY`, the path to the history file

`SS_BROWSER`, the browser to use (must support a commandline argument for a url), i think most browsers do

`SS_SEARCH_ENGINE`, the search engine to use instead of duckduckgo (must be a url)

wherever you want the search to be in the url put %search%
