#
# Wordlist to use
# ---------------
#
# A german wordlist
#
wordlist=/usr/share/dict/ngerman
#
# Most people prefer English... ;)
#
# wordlist=/usr/share/dict/words
#
#
# Randomizer settings
# -------------------
#
# If you invoke the script via crontab, you probably want some
# irregularity. A request every five minutes is easy to detect as
# mechanical request, so better wait a random amount of time. And
# don't do it on every invocation, do it only sometimes. That
# looks much less automatically performed and helps to make filtering
# your real searches out of the noise more challenging for the
# "United Stasi of America". ;)
#
# Percentage of execution
#
search_percent=50
#
# Maximal random delay in seconds before a search request is performed
#
search_delay=299
#
# Search engine URI
# I use the german google here
#
search_uri='http://www.google.de/search?q='
#
# Faked user agent
# Just an example. Use the user agent string of your preferred browser here
user_agent='Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 5.1; rv:16.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/16.0'

# Pick one random word from the wordlist.
# Once again cannot use $RANDOM for non-bashers. ;)
