icsearch

icsearch overview

icsearch is a command line wrapper that lets you query the iclassify server and is very useful for quickly gathering data. Like other iclassify utilities it will default to connecting to a server named ‘iclassify’, use your current username and prompt for as password. These can be overridden by the -s -u and -p options, respectively. The search query uses Solr Syntax.
