surfraw: Search using the alias.
$ sr ${elvi} "${search_terms}"
try on your machine

The given command has the following structure: sr ${elvi} "${search_terms}"

  1. ${elvi}: This is likely a variable that holds some value. The value of this variable is being used in the command. It could be a specific search engine or a program responsible for searching.

  2. "${search_terms}": This is another variable, search_terms, which represents the terms or keywords that will be used for a search. The "" (double quotes) surrounding it suggest that the search terms can be multi-word phrases.

So, putting it all together, the command is likely used to perform a search using the search engine or program specified in ${elvi} and the search terms specified in the ${search_terms} variable. The exact functionality and behavior of this command will depend on the context and the values assigned to the variables.
