rtfm - Open the Arch Wiki search page for a given string over CLI

Hey there! I made this simple program called rtfm, which can quickly open the Arch Wiki search page for a given string within a terminal.

It's written in Rust, and has an AUR package called (unsurprisingly) "rtfm".

Here are some links:
GitHub
The crates.io page
The AUR page

Not "rtfw"?

Does this just open up the link in your browser e.g. Firefox?

Might want to check out community/wikicurses, which lets you browse the wiki directly in your terminal using a python/curses interface.
