If the search is similar to the search on the guest menu fore clicktv,
the problem isn't that lynx was upgraded, but that clicktv changed their
site, making it unusable by lynx. The search is done via javascript,
which is not supported at all by lynx. This shouldn't work with any lynx
browser. Look at the html source (use the "\" key) to see the problem.
