Are there any search engines that are friendly enough to be used in Links? Perhaps a google proxy that has no clutter, I find that Google takes a lot of navigating through the mass of links before being able to put cursor in the search bar, bing a little less, duck duck go is almost there but search results work better in google in my opinion.
Is there a better search engine I can use or maybe something I can do in Links to get to the seach box faster, currently using arrow keys.

So, for example, to search this site, you would just enter:
to search for questions tagged 'browsers' and your request would be handed off to the CLI browser of your choice.
If you add Surfraw to your $PATH, you just have to enter:
The website has a full list of Elvi.
