gcli is a tool for command line Google searches. You must have a developer's key for Google's search API. See http://www.google.com/apis/ to get one.

gcli is fairly flexible. You can set options via flags. To set gcli to display only URLs from results:

gcli -d url 'google driven web development'

You can also set the max number of results to return.

gcli -d url -m 50 'google driven web development'

gcli may also be run as an interactive shell, which keeps a history of searches, allows you to jump into lynx for text browsing, and other cool things. The tool is built on a pure Python library for Google's web search API. You can use the library to build your own search tools on Google's API. See the included README for more info.
