Feature: Results should be visible in any terminal size

[psukys]

Currently, the default is always showing 10 results, whereas this could be dynamically set through interpretting the size of the terminal window.

It seems that tput lines does the job (tested on xterm, gnome-terminal, and in separate tty - ctrl+alt+f3 i.e.), thus this could be estimated beforehand

Each result occupies an unknown number of lines, so this is not possible.

1. Most terminals support scrollbars and mouse scroll.
2. Most terminals support a default size. Use the option -n to set the number of results to show per page depending on the default size of your terminal. I use 7, for example.

@zmwangx strongly disagree, since you can always find it before printing out.

@jarun I am unsure of the typical googler workflow, as it offers interactive mode, but the one needs to use scrollbars (?). Beats the purpose of it being a terminal app.

What I'm proposing is having some special parameter that instead of trying to manually figuring out how many results should be shown, the program would use current terminal's properties in doing the job for the user.

Sure, please submit a patch, and we'll have a look.
