This is something that we have discussed before on this list. There
is a bug in WWWOFFLE version 2.8c that means that the search feature
doesn't work for some users.
Previously I said:
: A workaround is to use the -l option (which is a very useful option
: anyway).
:
: A minimal patch that will fix the problem is below, a more detailed
: one has been put in for the next version.
I suppose that I should think about releasing version 2.8d with this
patch applied.
