How to do web searches in text-only web browsers

Question

I usually use google but whenever I load it in a text browser I have to press down several times to go to the field where you enter the search string. This is redundant. How do people use text-only web browsers to do web searches?

Answer 1

For most search engines, you can just modify the URL, append ?q=<term> and do the search. E.g. -

https://duckduckgo.com/?q=hello

https://www.google.com/search?q=hello

http://www.bing.com/search?q=hello
