Terminal Search Engine

An AI-powered terminal search tool that brings web results and intelligent answers directly into your command line.

Problem

Developers had to leave the terminal to search the web and get answers, breaking focus and slowing them down.

My Role

Creator and maintainer of the CLI tool (termsearch).

Technology/Approach

A lightweight Node.js CLI that sources results from DuckDuckGo and uses OpenRouter-powered AI to generate clear, summarised answers, with one-shot and interactive modes.

Result

A cross-platform, AI-backed search experience right in the terminal, published to npm as terminalsearchengine.
