I'm trying to do some automation using lynx to get some websites for
automated analysis. The problem is that it dumps the results to the
terminal directly, a redirect doesn't work.

Example:
lynx -dump
http://www.ticketmaster.nl/html/searchResult.htmI?keyword=carlton&l=NL
| grep resultaten

(line wrapped due to message width!)

I would expect just a few lines containing the word 'resultaten', but
I get the full webpage in my terminal.

It's not really consistent:
lynx -dump http://www.nl.debian.org | grep -i 'latest stable release'

That command lists only one line on the output.

I'm not sure if this is a bug in Lynx (although the browser links
behaves similar) or if my terminal type (vt100 over a ssh connection)
has something to do with it. Or perhaps there's a perfectly logical
explanation for it.

Does anyone know why this is happening and perhaps a workaround?
