Subject: bug#732: w3m shows different results than Firefox browser
Date: Sat, 16 Aug 2008 13:44:42 -0700	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <3AD13B03-7260-4F26-87B7-C9D58C43D1DE@xahlee.org> (raw)


This appears to be a w3m bug or the w3m-mode bug and can be  
reproduced 100%.

Summary:
The results from using Opera, Safari, Firefox, in google search seems  
to differ from results shown in w3m, for certain url string.

To test, try this url in Firefox and w3m/emacs:

http://www.google.com/search?q=%22The%20computer%20wizards%20at% 
20Industrial%20Light%20and%20Magic%20help%20alchemize%22

standard browsers shows many results, top one is this time mag article:
http://www.time.com/time/magazine/article/0,9171,981238-1,00.html

Safari, Firefox, Opera seems show identical results. (some has  
cookies turned on, some not, so this search shouldn't depends on  
cookies)

but in w3m it just shows one vocabulary page on my website that  
quoted this phrase.
