This little doey allows you do fire up a google search right from your terminal.

---------------------------------------------------

#!/bin/sh
#(save me into the path as "google")
clear &&
for i in "$@";
do lynx http://www.google.com/search?q="$@";
done

---------------------------------------------------

(the browser doesn't have to be lynx, it could be netscape, links, or whatever it just has to be able to accept urls from the command line)

you can then search google from the terminal using

google "your search for whatever"
