# vim-search-web
Search the web from your Vim editor
## Install
Place in `~/.vim/plugin/vim-search-web.vim`
### For Pathogen
```sh
cd ~/.vim/bundle
git clone https://github.com/rajasegar/vim-search-web.git
```
### With Vundle
Add this to your plugins list in `.vimrc`
```sh
Plugin 'rajasegar/vim-search-web'
```
## Usage
### Normal mode
Just place the cursor on any word about which you want to search and use
the key binding `sg`.
That's all, now a separate browser window will open with your search results.
### Visual mode
Just select any word about which you want to search and use
the key binding `sg`.
### Ex mode
You can specify the supported search engines as the first parameter and
then followed by the keyword.
```sh
:OpenSearch("Google", "hello world")
```
## Key Bindings
- [Leader]sdi => Dictionary Search
- [Leader]sd => DuckduckGo Search
- [Leader]sgi => Github Search
- [Leader]sg => Google Search
- [Leader]sn => npm Search
- [Leader]sr => reddit Search
- [Leader]ss => StackOverflow Search
- [Leader]st => Thesaurus Search
- [Leader]sw => Wikipedia Search
- [Leader]sy => Youtube Search
## Configuration
There are just a few global variables (options) you may set in the *.vimrc* file.
* `g:vsw_open_command`
Sets the command used to open the URL. In case of Ubuntu this would be
`"xdg-open"`:
let g:vsw_open_command = "xdg-open"
## FAQS
### Not able to search keywords with '-' (hyphens)
This plugin is using `CWORD` so spaces and other special characters like hyphens are ignored.
So if you want to include hypens also in your search keywords, just add them(temporarily) to `iskeyword`.
```sh
:set iskeyword+=-
```
