Dear Lynx team, If I use lite.duckduckgo.com to search for "lynx browser", I do get a list of legitimate links. I can do this repeatedly and I get the same result each time, as it should be.
If I use lynx -dump https://lite.duckduckgo.com/lite/?q="lynx browser", however, I see the same list of links the first time (OUTPUT 1 below). However, on subsequent runs, I get nothing usable (OUTPUT 2 below). Since this problem does not occur if I search inside lynx (without -dump), the problem cannot be with duckduckgo but has to be with lynx -dump. Can you help? Thank you for your consideration, Yvan **** OUTPUT 1 **************************************************************** #[1]DuckDuckGo (Lite) DuckDuckGo [2]lynx browser_________________________ [3]Search [4][(1)__All Regions_____] [5][(1)__Any Time__] [6]Next Page > Zero-click info: [7]Lynx (web browser) Lynx is a customizable text-based web browser for use on cursor-addressable character cell terminals.
