Oh, no! More URLs! :)

Never heard of G G, but will check it out, as
always. No, I meant stuff like this. I bind these kind
of defuns to keystrokes, then the search string is
embedded into the URL, and that is sent to the generic
w3m-web-search [1] - I have those for TPB, YT, etc. - I
guess I'm not bypassing the Internet, just those
stinking web GUIs.
