Use Surfraw's opensearch-discover tool to generate elvi from their opensearch descriptions. Allowing overrides for certain things (e.g., description) would be good too.

Creating a surfraw-tools program to accomplish this would be good. See Hoboneer/surfraw-tools#18 in the surfraw-tools repo.

This would obviate the dependency on rename from Perl since all generated elvi would be from a single directory, meaning that they could lose the .elvis suffix and still be able to be distinguished.

Perhaps the input files (and generated input files, i.e., .gen-in) could be in src/ while the generated elvi could be in elvi/. The make rules for generating elvi would need to cd into elvi/ first though. Maybe mkelvis could have an -o or --outfile option to do this.

It fails otherwise since mkelvis assumes that directories exist.

Do this in the makefile somehow. Perhaps just document it and leave it to the user?

Some consistency with common variables in makefiles are good.

Good thing the search completion code for the website isn't too hard to find. It uses jQuery, so it's nice and documented.

See https://github.com/ODNZSL/nzsl-online/blob/1a12f4db3c7ee2fb02860c51e9acf20384248570/app/assets/javascripts/base.js.erb#L311 for its autocompletion URL (https://www.nzsl.nz/signs/autocomplete). jQuery says that the source object property requires that the URL accepts a term parameter (for the search terms, of course). It's nice that it's a GET request: I can just use sr W -o "https://www.nzsl.nz/signs/autocomplete?term=$(w3_url_escape $SEARCHTERMS)".
