Hi, Willem here.
In the last few days, the google search results through lynx became unusable.
Does anyone else also experience this?
If so, is there a work-around apart from using another browser?
TIA, Willem

No problems here, but I don't use google directly either.  I use surfraw
and have surfraw run duckduckgo to find what I find from google.

	hello.  There is a work around for this problem and it still works as
of this morning.  I've been using it for years.

1.  Start lynx as you normally would with your favorite startup page.

2.  Press o for options to open the options form.

3.  Search for the accept cookies entry.

4.  Say yes to cookies, ssl certs, ssl errors. etc.

5.  Tab or search down to the user agent string.

6.  Check the box that says, send user agent string.  Make sure it's
checked.

7.  For the user agent string delete the existing string and write:
Mozilla/4.0 (compatible; MSIE 11.2; Linux-14.4)

8.  Press accept.

Now, when you  go to www.google.com, you should be able to enter search
terms, click on the Google Search button, and see a results page with
usable links.

	As a side work around, sometimes you'll encounter pages that won't
display and will give you an error like: Forbidden, with some text about
performance and security from Cloudflare.  If you go into options, turn off
the send user agent string, press accept and reload the page, that usually
gets the content.  Remember, however, that if you don't send the user agent
string when using Google search pages, you won't get usable results pages,
so I usually turn the user agent string back on when I'm done with the
Cloudflare pages.

Hope that helps.

-Brian

Do you have a gmail account?
If so, does this solution work?

	hello.  I do not have a gmail account, but I don't think this work
around  is dependent on having a gmail account.  We're talking about lynx,
the text based browser.

Unfortunately this workaround doesn't seem to be working for www.google.ca. 
I did find a lynx option that does seem to work though, the -tagsoup command 
line option. This seems to give a results page with usable links. It's not 
the results page that worked as of yesterday but it's better than nothing. 
This option can also be set in the main lynx configuration file. The default 
is off so just look for a line that says TAGSOUP:FALSE and change to: 
TAGSOUP:True I haven't tested this on other pages so hopefully it doesn't 
break other things.

Granted, I am not sure where you are trying.
Although things disapeared eaarlier today, as of a few moments ago things 
seem to be back.
  perhaps try again?

There is one particular piece of ransomware specifically attacking
servers and it could have attacked google servers.  I can't say this is
a change in google configuration or servers being compromised or a
combination of both.

Willem,
I simply put in "solder" in the google search box and hit "I'm feeling
lucky"
came up with a definition of solder and lots of stuff including catalog
entries from Mouser etc.
using lynx-2.8.8

I did allow and accept cookies and "invalid cookie paths"
what ever those are.

Yes, I know we are talking about lynx.  The situation is that the same 
sort of issues with google searches in Lynx, also apply if one wants to 
read  your basic html in lynx as well.
For the record, your work around does not  produce link numbers in 
searches.  the control v option can produce links, just no longer 
numbered.

	hello.  I don't usually use the list page (numbered links).  Instead,
I search for the word I want and find the link nearest to that word.
You may need to use the -show_cursor command line switch to get your screen
reader to follow Lynx's cursor.

Hi folks,
I cannot speak for any configuration of LYNx save for shellworld, but as 
of this evening if I visit.
www.google.com
and enter a search term, the results are numbered once again.
Hopefully such is true for all who need that access.
Karen
