bbqsearch

A simple yad one-liner to invoke a dialog field from which you can search the BBQ forums:

Code: Select all

#!/bin/sh
sh -c 'roaster "http://linuxbbq.org/bbs/search.php?keywords=$(yad --title="Check the forums..." --entry --text "Search LinuxBBQ BBS")"' 

Some variants:

Code: Select all

#!/bin/sh
sh -c 'roaster "http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?search=$(yad --title="Wikipedia knows..." --entry --text "Search Wikipedia")"' 

Code: Select all

#!/bin/sh
sh -c 'roaster "http://linuxbbq.org/wiki/index.php?search=$(yad --title="Check the Wiki..." --entry --text "Search LinuxBBQ Wiki")"' 

and so on :)

Code: Select all

sh: 1: roaster: not found

Obviously a script in a grilled Linux ...

Sexy idea though... Gotta install the grilled CrunchBang.

roaster == http://linuxbbq.org/bbs/viewtopic.php?f=15&t=474

It is easy to install alone. I have details in the INSTALL.md as to what you need, the link in my signature will lead you to the newest version.

well, of course replace roaster with x-www-browser (though roaster starts up quicker)

nice MB, should become standard to help with researching first :D

@ DebianJoe - I will check that out. Thanks...

@ baconator - that's an option too. But I think I'd rather try it in it's native form first.

Will be dd-ing: linuxbbq-darkside64.iso shortly.

I have a few photos to pop into the Wallpaper thread ...
