# what's happening?
# 1) first, curl the hover api searching for the first arg ($1)
# 2) pipe to `jq`, extract the results, discarding anything that isn't an exact keyword match and format as TSV
# 3) pipe TSV output of jq into a pretty table using `columns`. Use tab as the input delimiter
# 4) pipe the nice table to `sort` an sort by price, which when split by the separator ($) is the second key (2), (n)numeric sort, in (r)everse
