NAME

opensearch-genquery - Output the URL of a query generated from an OpenSearch Description

SYNOPSIS

opensearch-genquery [-q] [-H] [-A] [-R] [-c COUNT] [-i INDEX] [-p PAGENUM] [-l LANG] [-O ENC] [-I ENC] URL SEARCH TERMS...

DESCRIPTION

Output the URL of a query generated from an OpenSearch Description file at URL, with the specified SEARCH TERMS and other options filled in.

If multiple search types are available, -H, -A and -R can be used to specify which type is wanted. For example, -A -R can be used to request an Atom response, or failing that fall back to RSS. By default the first URL found in the description file is used.

Not all web sites implement all (or any) of the optional OpenSearch parameters. When used with those sites, the corresponding options will be silently ignored.

OPTIONS

-q

-H, -A, and -R can be combined to express response type priority and specify fallback types.
