{- | Module : XMonad.Actions.Search Copyright : (C) 2007 Gwern Branwen License : None; public domain Maintainer : Stability : unstable Portability : unportable; depends on XSelection, XPrompt A module for easily running Internet searches on web sites through xmonad.

The idea is that one wants to run a search but the query string and the browser to use must come from somewhere. There are two places the query string can come from - the user can type it into a prompt which pops up, or the query could be available already in the X Windows copy\/paste buffer (perhaps you just highlighted the string of interest). Thus, there are two main functions: 'promptSearch', and 'selectSearch' (implemented using the more primitive 'search'). To each of these is passed an engine function; this is a function that knows how to search a particular site. For example, the 'google' function knows how to search Google, and so on. You pass 'promptSearch' and 'selectSearch' the engine you want, the browser you want, and anything special they might need; this whole line is then bound to a key of you choosing in your xmonad.hs. For specific examples, see each function. This module is easily extended to new sites by using 'searchEngine'. The currently available search engines are: * 'amazon' -- Amazon keyword search. * 'alpha' -- Wolfram|Alpha query. * 'codesearch' -- Google Labs Code Search search. * 'deb' -- Debian package search. * 'debbts' -- Debian Bug Tracking System. * 'debpts' -- Debian Package Tracking System. * 'dictionary' -- dictionary.reference.com search. * 'google' -- basic Google search. * 'hackage' -- Hackage, the Haskell package database. * 'hoogle' -- Hoogle, the Haskell libraries API search engine. * 'images' -- Google images. * 'imdb' -- the Internet Movie Database. * 'isohunt' -- isoHunt search. * 'lucky' -- Google "I'm feeling lucky" search. * 'maps' -- Google maps. * 'mathworld' -- Wolfram MathWorld search. * 'openstreetmap' -- OpenStreetMap free wiki world map. * 'scholar' -- Google scholar academic search. * 'thesaurus' -- thesaurus.reference.com search. * 'wayback' -- the Wayback Machine. * 'wikipedia' -- basic Wikipedia search. * 'youtube' -- Youtube video search. * 'multi' -- Search based on the prefix. \"amazon:Potter\" will use amazon, etc. With no prefix searches google. Feel free to add more! -} {- $tip In combination with "XMonad.Actions.Submap" you can create a powerful and easy way to search without adding a whole bunch of bindings. First import the necessary modules: > import qualified XMonad.Prompt as P > import qualified XMonad.Actions.Submap as SM > import qualified XMonad.Actions.Search as S Then add the following to your key bindings: > ... > -- Search commands > , ((modm, xK_s), SM.submap $ searchEngineMap $ S.promptSearch P.defaultXPConfig) > , ((modm .|. shiftMask, xK_s), SM.submap $ searchEngineMap $ S.selectSearch) > > ... > > searchEngineMap method = M.fromList $ > [ ((0, xK_g), method S.google) > , ((0, xK_h), method S.hoogle) > , ((0, xK_w), method S.wikipedia) > ] Or in combination with XMonad.Util.EZConfig: > ... > ] -- end of regular keybindings > -- Search commands > ++ [("M-s " ++ k, S.promptSearch P.defaultXPConfig f) | (k,f) <- searchList ] > ++ [("M-S-s " ++ k, S.selectSearch f) | (k,f) <- searchList ] > > ... > > searchList :: [(String, S.SearchEngine)] > searchList = [ ("g", S.google) > , ("h", S.hoohle) > , ("w", S.wikipedia) > ] Make sure to set firefox to open new pages in a new window instead of in a new tab: @Firefox -> Edit -> Preferences -> Tabs -> New pages should be opened in...@ Now /mod-s/ + /g/\//h/\//w/ prompts you for a search string, then opens a new firefox window that performs the search on Google, Hoogle or Wikipedia respectively. If you select something in whatever application and hit /mod-shift-s/ + /g/\//h/\//w/ it will search the selected string with the specified engine.

Alas, the exact URL to feed searchEngine varies from site to site, often considerably, so there\'s no general way to cover this. Generally, examining the resultant URL of a search will allow you to reverse-engineer it if you can't find the necessary URL already described in other projects such as Surfraw. -} searchEngine :: Name -> String -> SearchEngine searchEngine name site = searchEngineF name (\s -> site ++ (escape s)) {- | If your search engine is more complex than this (you may want to identify the kind of input and make the search URL dependent on the input or put the query inside of a URL instead of in the end) you can use the alternative 'searchEngineF' function. > searchFunc :: String -> String > searchFunc s | s `isPrefixOf` "wiki:" = "http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/" ++ (escape $ tail $ snd $ break (==':') s) > | s `isPrefixOf` "http://" = s > | otherwise = (use google) s > myNewEngine = searchEngineF "mymulti" searchFunc @searchFunc@ here searches for a word in wikipedia if it has a prefix of \"wiki:\" (you can use the 'escape' function to escape any forbidden characters), opens an address directly if it starts with \"http:\/\/\" and otherwise uses the provided google search engine.
