Hi all, I am a fanatic Helm user, and within Helm I make intensive use of helm-surfraw. It is necessary to install Surfraw on the system (in Arch it is in the community repository). For who does not know, Surfraw (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Surfraw) is a script written by Julian Assange that lets you perform searches across many engines and internet sites. Every kind of search is controlled by a set of scripts called elvi. We can also write our custom elvis, and save them in the ~/.config/surfraw/elvi/ folder. I have written some elvis for my personal use, among them this simple script to search this mailing list, which I share here in case someone finds it useful:
#+begin_src sh :shebang #!/bin/sh :tangle ~/.config/surfraw/elvi/orgmode-ml # DESC: search Org Mode mailing list archives # elvis: orgmode-ml -- Search Org Mode mailing list archives (https://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/emacs-orgmode/) . surfraw || exit 1 w3_usage_hook () { cat <<EOF Usage: $w3_argv0 [search words]... Description: Search in Org Mode mailing list (https://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/emacs-orgmode/) EOF w3_global_usage } w3_config w3_parse_args "$@" if test -z "$w3_args"; then w3_browse_url "https://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/emacs-orgmode/" else escaped_args=`w3_url_of_arg $w3_args` w3_browse_url "https://lists.gnu.org/archive/cgi-bin/namazu.cgi?idxname=emacs-orgmode&sort=score&result=normal&max=20&submit=Search!&query=${escaped_args}" fi #+end_src Best regards, Juan Manuel
