iTerm2 Search History

Like [a bunch of people](https://github.com/search?q=dotfiles&type=Repositories),
I keep a dotfiles repository to version control and synchronize my Linux and MacOS
configs. One of the things that I store in there is my
[iTerm2 configuration](https://www.iterm2.com/) so that I can synchronize things
like same color schemes. It looks like several other people
[do the same thing](https://github.com/search?q=filename%3A.iterm-profile&type=Code).
However, I noticed that iTerm saves searches that you've run in the terminal window
so iTerm can show history, which means that people are also publishing searches that
they've made in a private terminal window. These configs can be found inside a file
called `com.googlecode.iterm2.plist` under a config key called `NoSyncSearchHistory`
so I wrote a script to scrape Github for these searches. The results of the search
were mostly boring, with terms like `kubernetes` or `user`, though I did find someone's
AWS IAM key (I'm currently waiting for a reply from the person about the leakage).
