Goosh - The Unofficial Google Shell
Amazingly amazing unix-like shell for Google Services.

- terpua 18y agoI thought it's supposed to save me time :)
- jeroen 18y agoGoogling for "goosh google" gives me lots of results on Goosh, but Gooshing (...) for the same gives me 0 results on Goosh. Is this not live data?
- g_e 18y agoGoogle has many datacenters. You probably used a different one then Goosh. Not everybody sees the same results on google.
- jeroen 18y agoI knew that there are many datacenters, but I expected them to be more or less in sync. However, the results have been totally different for many hours today, and are still only half the same.
- Maro 18y agoThis is really cool, but you can set search shortcuts in Opera (and the other browsers too). Eg. I type 's xyz' to google search xyz. I have tons of other search shortcuts, like e for ebay, a for amazon, i for imdb, m for mininova, y for youtube, etc.
- icky 18y agoFor my Firefox keywords, I have g for google search, map for google maps, gis for google image search, imdb for guess what, w for wikipedia search, py for local python module documentation lookup, modindex to flatly take me to the local python module index, def for google define, dict for dictionary.com, doc for local docs, and yt for youtube search. Between that and having the left Windows-key bound to "Start a new terminal", I'm never more than a few keystrokes away from my thoughts.
- dskhatri 18y agoThat's brilliant! I didn't know about Firefox keywords until now. Thanks!
- thorax 18y agoAnyone know how how to make an "extension"? Help says: load <extension_url> load an extension
- mk 18y ago"You can see an example module at http://goosh.org/ext/spon.js http://goosh.org/ext/spon.js"
- thorax 18y agoYou quoted that-- sorry if this is a dumb question, but where did you find that information? Thanks in advance.
- bobochan 18y agoIt is in the source: http://goosh.org/goosh.js http://goosh.org/goosh.js Personally I think this is fantastically cool. It is just going to take me a little while to stop typing "ls -l" and "mutt" at the prompt.
- pfedor 18y agoWhy is Google Code Search missing from the list?
- ngvrnd 18y agogobsmacked.
- annoyed 18y agoi'm going to waste way too much time on this
- ssanders82 18y agoI have no idea when or how I would ever need to use this beyond all the Firefox shortcuts I already have...but I have to say it's pretty damn cool. Slick UI, too.
- t0pj 18y agoLatest in "time sink" technology! Love it. Another timeout below: guest@goosh.org:/web> = Error: Operation timed out (1212424763266).
- jmatt 18y agoTo everyone who is listing google time out errors - this is in beta. 0.4.1-beta #1 I think it's an interesting idea. I like the idea of being able to use something like this when I'm on a "foreign" computer. Like a computer at my parents, friends or at school. By providing a web front end you don't HAVE to be on your perfectly configured box at home...
- martinr 18y agoThe really cool thing is that you can search and bring up the result sites without a mouse (or any mousless browsing extensions).
- yan 18y agoIt's cool as a programming exercise, but I just can't see it being useful for me. If it can do something else, that might be cool, but it can't do much. ^k and dictionary bookmarks in firefox are far superior to using that shell. Dictionary bookmarks, for all those unaware, are a beautiful feature I rarely hear about. For example, go to en.wikipedia.org and right click inside the search text box on the left. Click on 'Add a keyword for this search.' For name, put anything, for keyword i have 'w'. Now, whenever you are in the address bar (ctrl+l or alt+d to get there in windows/linux, apple+l in os x) you just type 'w plants' to get the wikipedia page on plants. Go and try it, type ctrl+l, 'w firefox', enter. I almost can't live without it. And the same works for anything else, so google news can be 'gn', google images: 'gi', etc thus making that more useful goosh. goosh doesn't even have any of the features you'd want from a *nix shell like redirection.
- mcxx 18y agoYeah, the dictionary bookmarks is probably the most hidden feature of FF, despite it saves time and is something each browser should have. I've stumbled upon it just recently, but I'm using it heavily every day since...
- LogicHoleFlaw 18y agoOk, that is amazingly useful. I just added keywords for my most-used searches (generally special-purpose wikis). Way cool.
- d0mine 18y agoFirefox's Awesome Keywords are.. hmm.. awesome, but what if you need: * a synchronization between different computers (the same keywords on different computers) * to use other browser * two or more parameters, e.g. to find Google Sets for "cat, and man" * to combine multiple queries, e.g. to search for "hacker news" on Google and Yahoo YubNub's examples: $ gset man, cat http://yubnub.org/parser/parse?command=gset%20man%2C%20cat http://yubnub.org/parser/parse?command=gset%20man%2C%20cat $ ms2 hacker news; g y http://yubnub.org/parser/parse?command=ms2%20hacker%20news%3B%20g%20y http://yubnub.org/parser/parse?command=ms2%20hacker%20news%3...
- xirium 18y agoIf you like this then you'll probably like mudsh ( http://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=186849 http://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=186849 ).
- lowkey 18y agobest thing I've seen around here in a while. I like it.
- aneesh 18y agoReally cool, but I see it more as a curiosity than something useful.
- growt 18y agoto everybody with timeout errors: if you use the noscript firefox-extension you have to add "ajax.googleapis.com" to the whitelist.
- neovive 18y agoso that was the problem.

- toffer 18y agoAnybody use YubNub: "a command line for the Web" (http://yubnub.org http://yubnub.org)? It's a similar idea that's been around for a few years.
- mlinsey 18y agoThis seems to be giving me different results than google.com for many queries (examples: my name, "java", "specialtys") . I presume this is because searches I do on google.com are personalized to my search history and whatever other data google has on me...
- newt0311 18y agoThe next step is to integrate this into bash.
