Gisele - Google CLI Search
==========================

[](#gisele---google-cli-search)

Gisele is simple tool which allows you to make a Google search in CLI

Installation
------------

[](#installation)

1. Download the [`gisele.phar`](https://github.com/borisguery/Gisele/raw/master/build/gisele.phar) executable
2. Run Gisele: `php gisele.phar`

Installation from Source
------------------------

[](#installation-from-source)

1. Run `git clone https://github.com/borisguery/Gisele.git`
2. Run Composer to get the dependencies: `composer install` (see Composer [documentation](http://getcomposer.org/doc/))

You can now run Gisele by executing the `bin/gisele` script: `php /path/to/gisele/bin/gisele`

Usage
-----

[](#usage)

There are actually three search commands available.

### web

[](#web)

`php gisele.phar web "boris guery"`

### image

[](#image)

`php gisele.phar image "php logo"`

### news

[](#news)

`php gisele.phar news "php"`

All commands have the following options:

```
 --throttle (-t)
```

The number of seconds between each requests, can be either an integer, or a range like 1,3 (default: '5,10')`

```
--interactive (-i)
```

Ask confirmation before fetching next page

```
--max-result (-m)
```

The maximum of result to fetch

```
--format (-f)
```

Custom format to render the results, depending on the command, the following placeholder are available: `{counter}`, `{title}`, `{link}`, `{from}`, `{ago}` (the last two are only available for the `news` command)

```
--lucky (-l)
```

Are you lucky? Stop at the first result

Tips & Tricks
-----------------

[](#tips--tricks)

How to automaticaly open the result in a browser using the `--lucky` option?

```
php gisele.phar web -l "github" -f "{link}" | xargs open $1
```

(Replace `open` by `xdg-open` on Linux)

How to download the 20 first images from search result?

```
php build/gisele.phar image -m20 "github" -f "{link}" | xargs wget -P results/ -nd $1
```

How do I save results while display them to the screen?

```
php gisele.phar news "github" | tee results.txt
```
