Fast Amazon: Amazon searching made simple
Authored by: chris.wiggins on Jun 22, '05 06:06:49AM

hmm. this is pretty easy to do via google, which in turn is
doable from the command line.

e.g., make an alias like:

alias amazon "google site:amazon.com \!*"


and then make a command google like
[code]
export str=`echo $* | sed -e 's/+/%22/g' | sed -e 's/ /+/g' `
echo $str
open 'http://www.google.com/search?hl=en&lr=&safe=off&c2coff=1&q='$str'&btnG=Search'
[/code]
