Overview
searchgeo is a commandline script to query the Geocrawler search engine. Geocrawler archives many of the Debian mailing lists as well as other Linux related lists.
Options
-
-b -
- pull bodies too
-
-D -
- download and save the list names to a config file in ~/.searchscripts/. This allows for quicker startup as the list name page doesn't have to be pulled each time. If you've used -D, you should run it once in a while to make sure the lists are up-to-date.
-
-H -
- pull the geocrawler.com home page into the browser
- -L pat1 [pat2 [ ... ]]
-
- print the lists that match the partial arguments pat1 ...; "-L \*" to see all lists.
-
-l -
- lists, default devel
all = devel mentors user
-
-k -
- don't delete the hits file on exit. It will be in /tmp and start with geo__. It is always kept if the browser is Netscape.
-
-p -
- search pattern. The -p is optional if it is the only switch.
-
-t <seconds> -
- socket timeout, default 60
Browsers
If you use Netscape as your browser, the temp files will be left in /tmp and you'll have delete them occasionally. These files are automatically deleted if you use a different browser.

Examples
searchgeo -l all -p murdock perens
searchgeo -l all -p apt beta jason -b

Notes
- ^C stops the search and shows the hits to that point if it can
- the SourceForge lists aren't included as there are hundreds of them, mostly empty
