See #207. I'll see how easy it is to use URL folding like we do in If you don't like the idea a PR for review is welcome. |

We have explained in #207 our reservations regarding automatically adjusting the number of search results according to the terminal size in googler. However, we have the option to show the domain name only instead of the complete URL. This is a visual change and many modern browsers do it. We cannot make it default at this stage of the project. So I chose to use an environment variable. There's a new omniprompt switch (`u`) to toggle it at runtime.

By default,
googlershould show a number of search results that fits within the current terminal height.Right now, 10 is the default, which means you always have to scroll back to see the first hits if you have a window of less than 60 lines (which is quite tall!) You always have to scroll back = Not user friendly.
To fit more search results into the terminal, one could also look into setting a cutoff length for site descriptions, which can run into hundreds of characters for some sites, while others are quite short.
