googler is a Python command-line tool for performing Google web, news, and video searches directly from the terminal. It displays titles, URLs, and abstracts with pagination, site filtering, time-range limits, and browser integration.

Use cases

  • search google from the terminal
  • search google on a headless server without a browser
  • fetch site-specific search results for a website
  • read google news from the command line
  • search google videos from the console
  • open search results in a text-based browser
  • limit search results by date range or duration

When to choose

  • you need Google search results on headless servers or SSH sessions without a GUI
  • you want ad-free, scriptable Google searches with site and time filters
  • you prefer integrating search with text-based browsers or shell workflows

When to avoid

  • you need a maintained tool - the latest release is from 2021 and Google markup changes may break it
  • you need a GUI or rich browser-based search experience
  • you need search APIs with guaranteed stability or official support
