Call For Testing: googler

googler is a power tool to Google (Web & News) and Google Site Search from the command-line. It shows the title, URL and abstract for each result, which can be directly opened in a browser from the terminal. Results are fetched in pages (with page navigation). Supports sequential searches in a single googler instance.

googler isn’t affiliated to Google in any way.

I played around with it a bit, worked just fine for me :+1:

I installed it on Zesty and played around with it. Everything seems to work fine.

Googler 3.4 has been pushed to edge.

Please use sudo snap refresh googler --edge or sudo snap install googler --edge to update/install and test to see if there’s any regressions since the previous release.

Also test to ensure that it works without snapd-xdg-open.
