But startpage gives you Google results. The trouble with Google is
that it now redirects search results via itself so you either have to
wait while it responds or you have to dig out the embedded url or type
it in manually. Actually it looks as though sp does extract the
embedded url for results but it takes a while to do it.
Also have you tried clicking "Advanced"? I think you can supply a
domain to search but it becomes unusable on NetSurf.

I don't want a "user experience" - I just want stuff that works.
