the problem is that the page their search sends you to doesn't exist:
<!-- X-URL: http://www.lycos.com/ -->
<BASE HREF="http://www.lycos.com/";>
<HTML><HEAD><TITLE>Lycos: Your Personal Internet Guide</TITLE></HEAD>
<BODY>
<MAP NAME=navbar>

when i tried to goto http://www.lycos.com/cgi-bin/pursuit , it was Not Found.
hitting on the link on the page calls up a screen saying the same thing
-- relevant part only -- :
The webpage you're seeking was not found because:
1. It may no longer exist
2. It may have moved to another Web address
3. It may reside in a restricted area
i'm using Lynx 2-8pre.2, which is generally solid.
