Surfraw provides a fast unix command line interface to a variety of popular WWW
search engines and other artifacts of power. It reclaims google, altavista,
babelfish, dejanews, freshmeat, research index, slashdot and many others from
the false-prophet, pox-infested heathen lands of html-forms, placing these
wonders where they belong, deep in unix heartland, as god loving extensions to
the shell.
Surfraw abstracts the browser away from input. Doing so lets it get on with what
it's good at. Browsing. Interpretation of linguistic forms is handed back to the
shell, which is what it, and human beings are good at. Combined with
netscape-remote or incremental text browsers, such as links
(http://artax.karlin.mff.cuni.cz/~mikulas/links/), w3m (http://www.w3m.org/),
and screen(1) a Surfraw liberateur is capable of navigating speeds that leave
GUI tainted idolaters agape with fear and wonder.
