So much work, for such a large browser.  :)  For those of us that use
Elinks as their browser, then here's something similar, using "Smart
Prefixes".  Essentially:

``
Options Manager -> Protocols -> URI rewriting -> Smart Prefixes
''

... from there, one can "Add" a new prefix -- I called mine 'lg'.  When
that's done, scroll down to it, and "Edit" it, adding the following to
it:

```
http://www.google.com/search?q=%s&btnG=Google+Search&domains=linuxgazette.net&sitesearch=linuxgazette.net
'''

... the "%s" variable above expands to whatever search term was entered
in.  Then click on "Save", and voila.  Now one can search LG, by either
pressing 'g' or 't', and typing:

``
lg: my search term
''

More information can be found on my own Elinks site here:
