# "Install" (I use that term loosely)
#
# - Paste the function below in your .bashrc / .profile / .zshrc / etc.
#
# Usage: find /usr/local -type [m|g] -name [KEYWORD]
#
# -type m : google maps search
# -type g : google search
#
# all other types pass through to find
#
# Notes: 
# Tested on Ubuntu with ZSH. Comment's, suggestions, etc. welcome.
