Provider Expansion

We can do partial matching of provider names. This searches Facebook for hamsters.

s -p fa hamsters

Or toasters on amazon.

Provider Autocompletion

Autocompletion for providers is supported. For setting up autocompletion:

1. Have s installed
2. Add the following lines to ~/.bash_profile or ~/.zshrc

if [ -f $GOPATH/src/github.com/zquestz/s/autocomplete/s-completion.bash ]; then
    . $GOPATH/src/github.com/zquestz/s/autocomplete/s-completion.bash
fi

Now you are good to go.

s -p ba<TAB><TAB>
baidu     bandcamp

Advanced

Setup an alias in your .profile for your favorite providers.

alias sa="s -p amazon"
alias sw="s -p wikipedia"
