web-search plugin

This plugin adds aliases for searching with Google, Wiki, Bing, YouTube and other popular services.

Open your ~/.zshrc file and enable the web-search plugin:

plugins=( ... web-search)

You can use the web-search plugin in these two forms:

  • web_search <context> <term> [more terms if you want]

$ google oh-my-zsh
