# Search Engine Aliases
# by W. Caleb McDaniel and Lincoln Mullen, 2012

# The idea for this was suggested by Lincoln Mullen's post on
# configuring Chrome for specific search engines. I source this file 
# in my bashrc, and then use DTerm or the Terminal to quickly search. 
# This method makes Mullen's ideas browser-independent. Mullen also
# suggested some changes to the functions that make these work in any
# Unix environment too. Feel free to fork and use however you see fit.
#
# For more context, see:

# To prepare plain-text queries for URLs, use python.
# http://ruslanspivak.com/2010/06/02/urlencode-and-urldecode-from-a-command-line/

alias urlencode='python -c "import sys, urllib as ul; print ul.quote_plus(sys.argv[1])"'

# Your academic library probably has a proxy system. For example, to 
# access JSTOR through Brandeis University's libraries, the url
#      http://www.jstor.org/
# becomes http://www.jstor.org.resources.library.brandeis.edu/
# Fill in the variable below with the value of your proxy. Using the 
# example above:
#      myproxy='.resources.library.brandeis.edu'
#  Then in the # search functions which you want to run through the 
#  library proxy, add the following:
#     http://www.jstor.org$myproxy/
# If you don't have a library proxy, leave the string empty:
# 	  myproxy=''
# Even the searches which other users have provided will still work
# without a proxy.

myproxy='.ezproxy.rice.edu'


# Different OSes have different commands for opening a URL in a browser 
# from a command line. Change the alias below to the proper command for 
# your OS. The default 'open' works on Macs. On Ubuntu the command would 
# be 'gnome-open' instead. You could also use this alias to change the 
# browser that opened the URL. And if you wished to change the flags for 
# the open command, you could do it in one place by changing the alias.

alias searchopen='open'


# If you want to see a list of all the search engines available using
# these functions, this alias allows you to type "searchlist" at the
# command-line. You'll also need to set the SEPATH variable to
# the location of this file on your computer.

SEPATH=$HOME/.bashfiles/se-aliases/se-aliases.sh
alias searchlist="awk '/^function/ {print \$2}' $SEPATH | sort" 

# Use these at the command line by typing the function's name and the
# query. Queries with more than one word should be enclosed in double
# quotes. Literal quotes can be added to queries with the escape slash.
#
# E.g.
#
# scholar abolitionists
# scholar "American abolitionists"
# scholar "\"American abolitionists\""

function seusage() {
cat << EOF

By default, you are running a keyword search. 
Some options may be available, depending on your search engine.

Help:
	
	-v			Verbose; show this message before searching
	-o			Sort by date (oldest first)
	-n			Sort by date (newest first)
	-i			Sort by interesting (Flickr only)
	-t			Search in "title" field

Note: Use backslash escapes for literal quotes.

Examples:

	scholar abolitionists
	scholar "American abolitionists"
	poth -td "\"Texas Republican\""
EOF
}
