Google Script Search Tool

A simple Python script that opens Google searches in your browser with site-specific filters for popular developer and tech websites.

Features

• Searches Google with automatic site filters
• Opens results in Brave browser
• Filters results to specific trusted websites:
  • Reddit
  • Medium
  • Google
  • Stack Overflow

Requirements

• Python 3.x
• Brave browser installed at /usr/bin/brave-browser

Installation

Make the script executable:

chmod +x main.py

Optionally, you can create a symlink or add the script to your PATH to use it as a system command:

# Option 1: Create a symlink in /usr/local/bin (requires sudo)
sudo ln -s $(pwd)/main.py /usr/local/bin/googlesearch

# Option 2: Add to PATH by adding this to your ~/.bashrc or ~/.zshrc
export PATH="$PATH:/path/to/goooglescript"

Usage

As a Command

If you've added it to your PATH or created a symlink:

googlesearch your search query here

Or run directly:

./main.py your search query here

Example

googlesearch python list comprehension
# or
./main.py python list comprehension

This will open a Google search for "python list comprehension" filtered to the specified websites in your Brave browser.

How It Works

The script:

1. Takes command-line arguments as your search query
2. Constructs a Google search URL with site filters
3. Opens the search results in Brave browser

Notes

• If no search query is provided, the script will display an error message
• The script is configured to use Brave browser by default
• You can modify the valid_websites list in main.py to add or remove site filters
