So I tried it and it failed over and over, telling me it couldn't find anything when I was using strings that I knew were out there. So I did some tracing and nnweb-google-search constructs a perfectly correct URL for the query in question ... but ... the problem is that it lands on the Google log-in page. That's Google's doing, of course, but it makes 'G w' unusable. (I'm using the Gnus version associated with the Emacs 25.3.1, which is 5.13.) Is anyone using 'G w' successfully? What is the trick?

I also learned about it at the moment.

I see Gnus (`nnweb-google-search') constructing an url like http://groups.google.com/groups?q=test&num=100&hq=&hl=en&lr=&safe=off&sites=groups&filter=0 When I visit it in w3m or eww, Google says I need to enable Javascript. I'm a bit happy it doesn't say I should login. Michael. ^ permalink raw reply [flat|nested] 4+ messages in thread

(I suspect you have a login cookie stored for w3m or eww.) And the Javascript is a kind of show-stopper if we want to keep things within Emacs. Oh well. Dommage. Schade. Aloha `ino.
