# vim-search-web

Search the web from your Vim editor

## Install

Place in `~/.vim/plugin/vim-search-web.vim`

### For Pathogen

```sh
cd ~/.vim/bundle
git clone https://github.com/rajasegar/vim-search-web.git
```

### With Vundle
Add this to your plugins list in  `.vimrc`

```sh
Plugin 'rajasegar/vim-search-web'
```

## Usage

### Normal mode
Just place the cursor on any word about which you want to search and use
the key binding `<Leader>sg`.

That's all, now a separate browser window will open with your search results.

### Visual mode
Just select any word about which you want to search and use
the key binding `<Leader>sg`.

### Ex mode

You can specify the supported search engines as the first parameter and
then followed by the keyword.

```sh
:OpenSearch("Google", "hello world")
```

## Key Bindings
- [Leader]sdi  => Dictionary Search
- [Leader]sd   => DuckduckGo Search
- [Leader]sgi  => Github Search
- [Leader]sg   => Google Search
- [Leader]sn   => npm Search
- [Leader]sr   => reddit Search
- [Leader]ss   => StackOverflow Search
- [Leader]st   => Thesaurus Search
- [Leader]sw   => Wikipedia Search
- [Leader]sy   => Youtube Search

## Configuration

There are just a few global variables (options) you may set in the *.vimrc* file.

* `g:vsw_open_command`

Sets the command used to open the URL. In case of Ubuntu this would be
  `"xdg-open"`:

let g:vsw_open_command = "xdg-open"

## FAQS

### Not able to search keywords with '-' (hyphens)
This plugin is using `CWORD` so spaces and other special characters like hyphens are ignored.
So if you want to include hypens also in your search keywords, just add them(temporarily) to `iskeyword`.

```sh
:set iskeyword+=-
```
