I saw a Google console app someone wrote a while back, but it was actually a website emulating a console.

google-cli is supposed to do just that (it's the revived version of cli-google).

"#!/bin/bash

if [[ $(echo $*) ]]; then

searchterm=""$*""

else

read -p ""Enter your search term: "" searchterm

fi

searchterm=$(echo $searchterm | sed -e 's/\ /+/g')

lynx -dump http://www.google.com/search?q=$searchterm | less

Copy and paste this script into ~/bin, name it ""goose"" or something (GOOgle SEarch). Chmod it +x

Usage is:

goose searchterm

Clearly, you have to have Lynx installed."

"I wrote a small application to allow you to do a Google search via CLI, it is actually very simple and currently only supports Web search, Images search and News search.
