Implementation
This command line tool used the Google Custom Search Engine (CSE) to perform web and image searches. It relied on googleapiclient.build and cse.list, where build was used to create a Google API object and cse was used to perform the searches. The class search_google.cse simply passed a dictionary of arguments onto build and cse and manipulated the results using properties and methods. search_google.cli was then used to create a command line interface for search_google.cse. In order to use build and cse, a Google Developer API Key and a Google CSE ID must be created to have access (see search_google Setup). Creating these keys required a Gmail account for login access.
