googler: Search Google and open the first result in web browser.
$ googler -j ${keyword}
try on your machine

The command "googler -j ${keyword}" is used to search and display the search results from Google using the command-line interface.

Here's a breakdown of the command:

  • "googler" is the command being executed. It is a third-party command-line tool that allows you to search Google from the terminal.
  • "-j" is an option/flag for the "googler" command. It stands for "JSON" and specifies the output format for the search results. In this case, it requests the search results to be returned in JSON format.
  • "${keyword}" is a placeholder for the actual search term you want to use. You need to replace it with the actual keyword you want to search for. For example, if you want to search for "cats", you would replace "${keyword}" with "cats".

Putting it all together, when you run the command "googler -j ${keyword}", it searches Google for the specified keyword and displays the search results in JSON format. The use of JSON format allows for easier parsing and integration with other tools or scripts.
