Allows you to search the web from the command-line.
SYNOPSYS
search.pl [search-engine-alias] search-string Starts a search on the specified engine

EXAMPLE
To search for pictures of christmas trees type:
search.pl pictures christmas trees
The Search Tool fires up a google image search to search for pictures of christmas trees.
The tool is quite useful as you can quickly search for dictionary meanings of words, and meanings of finance terms, and a lot more just from the command-line. Written by me in Perl, the tool is portable (hopefully) across Win32 and other O/S. Please mail me to request the tool.
