Sadly and disgustingly, I fired up lynx last night and found out that Google will not allow you to search with it anymore. I guess this change happened a few months ago and there was an HN thread about it[0], but I hadn't noticed until now.
Going to altavista still works great (even though it just redirects you to yahoo ;)
I often use DuckDuckGo in HTML mode (https://html.duckduckgo.com/html/) when I'm using EWW in Emacs.
There's also the even more barebones DDG Lite: https://lite.duckduckgo.com
I use it often when on very slow or metered connections (still find some of those around).
