Fix default search to stackoverflow

When you specify the site: it will filter all results down to that domain only. I think we may want to make the config option to set the site like you suggest and then also add the site: into the query later on. What do you think?

I think it's best to add the "site:" into the query later on. Asking the
users and ourselves to type in "site:" for every site sounds like a bit
much.

Is there a way to specify multiple sites?

Currently the link results are being printed onto the terminal or console.
It would be to cool to print the link within the stack trace within the
browser. Do you know where I can look to find more information on how to do
this? I'm having trouble finding it on google. Thanks.

If we go as far as adding multiple sites, we may just want to allow you to specify extra google search query text that way you can customize it as much as you want. Otherwise we go down the rabbit hole of adding configuration options for every advanced search function Google supports. Maybe we rename the site option to something that better describes the extra query text?

On OSX/Linux you can use the open command to open a url in the default app for it. open http://github.com would spawn a new browser tab for me in Chrome for example.

My ideal solution here is to work with better_errors and have our gem extend better_errors to include a widget of related links so it happens entirely in browser. What do you think?

I agree with you on this. I think the only user configurable option should
be which website google searches. Even then though, I'm not quite sure
which other sites the user would want besides from stackoverflow. You know
of other sites?

I think the most ideal situation is that we handle all of the
configurations and work in order to obtain to best five search results. So
the user doesn't have to add extra query text or anything else. I'm also
not sure what extra query text the user would want to add. Did you have
some ideas? And would this extra search query text be added for every
search?

To use the open command with the stack_rescue gem, would the user still
have to type out the whole url? That would be difficult.

Let me check out better errors.

Regarding opening the links, perhaps you could point out in the readme known shortcuts for various terminal apps. E.g. cmd + click in iTerm2 or cmd + double click in Terminal on Mac OSX.

Great tips @lexh. I forgot about cmd+click!

Maybe we just have an option for filtering to stackoverflow or not? I can't think of any better sites either. I could imagine people wanting to filter out results with certain terms, but seems rare.

With open you could probably just use backticks to run the command easily. If you type this into irb, it will open Github.

`open http://github.com`

Obviously this is going to be very annoying so I don't think open is a great solution. Integrating with better_errors still seems like the best approach but probably requires a rewrite to be a Rack middleware.
