As you know, Google is very smart with searches, while the best search terminal tool I have ever seen just allows you to search with regexes.



Is there a tool to search text more like a search engine? Can I use a script to use Google (or another web service) to do this?



The use-case I have in mind is searching a big man page like zshall for relevant info.






linux shell text-processing search google

    You can search man pages while you're reading them. Press / then type a word and press enter.

    @kevlinux I know that, but that doesn’t work out well when you don’t know the exact phrasing.

    @HappyFace It's up to you to have an idea of what you're looking for no matter what method you're using. You can use / to search for regular expressions in the same way that you can with grep including case-insensitive searches. You can aso can pipe a man page into grep.

    I don't have a particular answer, but you might want to look up the topic of desktop search engines. Also, there is a FOSS search engine called YaCy, which (IIRC) can be run locally just on your own files: yacy.net/en

    You didn't explain which Google-style features you are looking for, I assume suggested queries and automatic corrections/fuzzy matching? In a search engine like Google, these features partially rely on (1) previous users requests (for sorting by popularity), and (2) massive preprocessing (and storage) of data. this is why these features are not easily reproducible on a regular system.

How many registers does an x86_64 CPU actually have?

Image
Clash Royale CLAN TAG #URR8PPP up vote 2 down vote favorite I am currently learning reverse engineering and am studying the flags register. I had in my mind that rflags was just another name for one of the 16 general purpose registers, for example rax or rbx . But it looks like rflags is actually an additional register. So that makes 17 registers in total... how many more could there be? I have spent at least an hour on this and found numerous different answers. The best answer so far is this, which says that there are 40 registers in total. 16 General Purpose Registers 2 Status Registers 6 Code Segment Registers 16 SSE Registers 8 FPU/MMX Registers But if I add that up, I get 48. Could anybody provide an official answer on how many registers an x86_64 CPU has (e.g. an Intel i7). Additionally, I have seen references to 'hardware' and 'architectural' registers. What are those registers and how many are there? register x86-64 share | improve this...
