Google site search: Google searches results from a specific site.

Googler displays search results with titles, links, and web page summaries. The search results can be opened directly in the browser with just two keystrokes.

Although Googler is not yet available in Ununtu's software library, we can easily install it from the GitHub repository. All we need to do is run the following command:
