Can you make a package that we can install via brew called "searchbrew". which will work like so:

$ searchbrew mouse
[lists all packages that include the word 'mouse']

$ searchbrew -h mouse
[opens browser to searchbrew.com, with 'mouse' pre-filled in the search box]

lists all packages that include the word 'mouse'

Like an option in homebrew for brew search to also search descriptions?

lists all packages that include the word 'mouse'

You could make an alias to launch your web browser from your command line shell with ?q= query parameters.

But searchbrew would need to add support for query paramters, because it's Javascript search interface doesn't transparently change url, and manually giving it one doesn't seem to work.
