Hello Riku & all, I have scripted my lynxie bash script to a "better" one named slynxie (with the "S" for Search): it does directly submit your search keys to Google and you can read immediately the result page.
Just make it executable with chmod +x slynxie and cp it to ~/bin or /usr/local/bin/ At your prompt, enter: slynxie Lynx+Google+Lynx-dev (for example) and hit ENTER See slynxie attachment. Kind regards, Osvaldo. Le Thu, Oct 09, 2025 at 06:01:58PM +0300, Riku Virtanen a écrit : > Hi Osvaldo, > > > Thank you a lot!
