NAME¶
elvi - surfraw(1) search toolsSYNOPSIS¶
surfraw elviname [options] search words ...DESCRIPTION¶
This is the man page for the elvi, a set of search tools that form part of surfraw(1).sr elvisname [options] search terms.
sr google -l debian ports
sr elvisname -local-help
sr -elvi
Adding the elvi to your path¶
If you are a regular user of surfraw, you will probably get sick of typing sr or surfraw each time. You can regain the old behaviour of running the elvi directly by adding the elvi directory (/usr/lib/surfraw) to your path, either manually or using surfraw-update-path(1).OPTIONS¶
Use sr elviname -local-help for elvi‐specific options.- -help
- Show summary of options (including elvi‐specific
options).
- -local-help
- Show elvi‐specific options.
- -version
- Show version of program.
- -browser=EXECUTABLE
- Set browser (default: sensible-browser).
- -elvi
- Display a list of other Surfraw mechanisms for conquering
evil.
- -escape-url-args=yes|no
- Apply url escaping to arguments (default: yes)
- -q|-quote
- Bracket arguments with " characters (default: no) Note
that putting quotes round arguments works now, so you can do, for example:
sr google foo "bar baz" bam
EXAMPLES¶
$ sr ask why is jeeves gay?
$ surfraw google -results=100 RMS, GNU, which is sinner, which is sin?
$ sr austlii -method=phrase dog like
$ /usr/lib/surfraw/rhyme -method=perfect Julian
