Could be useful. Have you thought of the use cases for this? Does it do anything more intelligent other than using the API to search for the keyword on Wiki and YT?

The main idea for building this, I explain on the readme: https://github.com/alxpez/woye/blob/master/README.md https://github.com/alxpez/woye/blob/master/README.md In summary I wanted a way to go through an unorganized list of items (in my case music bands), without having to copy paste one by one (over 60 items, you can find the list here: https://github.com/alxpez/parsist/blob/master/sample/index.js https://github.com/alxpez/parsist/blob/master/sample/index.j...). This way I was able to listen to the bands that people recommended me whilst reading about them in Wikipedia (something I usually do when people tell some new music to listen to) Obviously, that's my personal need, but I found out that this functionality could be used for any other thing you want to search... what do you search is up to you. In a way, you could say is a multi-search-engine LOL. As for today WOYE is only a concept, so feel free to share your ideas or improvements. Cheers

  I would use one of this for Rotten Tomatoes and Netflix. I know there is a chrome extension that inserts ratings on Netflix interface. But I use the Netflix app (to send to chromecast). So I spend a lot of time googling names of movies (extra steps when I have to find the original name of a movie that i showing to me in br_PT)

    I didn't think of that, but it could be an interesting feature to be able to select other "info-providers", as you said Rotten Tomatoes for example. I have in mind to implement some categories options (in case that everything you're searching is related), also localization (since certain things are very dependent on the language), and it could work to include a provider selection as well. I'm not too happy with the interface at the moment, but I'm looking forward to an UI update.

      so a bit like 2 fold search. Interesting as we have taken a similar concept much further with an app we will be launching soon www.loomi.ai. We can take any topic/keyword and pull relevant/top information from any source. That and much more. alxpez, send me a message, can show you what we have...
