 ## Usage
 
 ```sh
-nimcoon emacs
+nimcoon "emacs"
 
 # If your search query has multiple words, use quotes
-nimcoon 'nim lang'
+nimcoon "nim lang"
 
-# Advanced: Play audio of the first search result
+# Play audio of the first search result
 nimcoon -m -l "counting stars"
+
+# Download audio of the first search result
+nimcoon -mld "counting stars"
+
+# Play direct video link
+nimcoon https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QOEMv0S8AcA
+
+# Add -d to download or -m to select only audio or both
+nimcoon -md https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hT_nvWreIhg
 ```
 
-### Commandline arguments
+After the search results are displayed, you can enter a number to play one
+result, "all" to play all the results or "q" to quit the program. 
+
+If a number is entered, after the selected search result is played, the results
+are redisplayed, so that you can play the other results without having to search
+again.
+
+### Command line arguments
 
 | **Arguments**     | **Explanation**                            |
 |-------------------|--------------------------------------------|
 | -m, --music       | Play Music only, no video                  |
 | -l, --lucky       | Try your luck with the first search result |
 | -f, --full-screen | Play video in full screen                  |
+| -d, --download    | Download video or music                    |

 ## Development
 
 One-liner for compiling and running
 
 ```sh
-nim c -d:ssl -r nimcoon.nim 'nim lang'
+nim c -d:ssl -r src/nimcoon.nim 'nim lang'
+```
+
+## Privacy
+
+To avoid storing your nimcoon searches in `zsh` history, run this command
+
+```sh
+setopt histignorespace
+```
+
+Then, add a space before typing nimcoon in the shell, like " nimcoon"
+
+```sh
+ nimcoon "this is private"
+```
+
+The same can be achieved in `bash` by setting an environment variable
+```sh
+export HISTCONTROL=ignoreboth
 ```
