Today I was trying 3 different linux text browsers, lynx, w3m and links,
but found that all 3 could not fully capture the links in the google
search engine page after doing a search query to www.google.com
For example Google would give as the header line
We have found our results
then the URL line:
http://www.foundourresults.com/our/data/.../is/here
and some explanation below that...
But notice the ellipsis ... in the url line. All 3 linux browsers would
faithfully record the url line with the ellipsis, and thus the search
results were unresolvable when used for a brand new lookup. However
google carefully embeds the correct url in the header line which is
where the browser actually goes next, after manually mouse clicking on
that find.
I noticed that Startpage doesn't use ellipsis in the url line, so it is
simple to capture the url's using the -dump option to a file and later
parse these for further internet lookup and they all work.
How would one go about recovering the full urls from the Google search
results so that a text browser successfully captures the fully specified
URL reference?
