Hello,
  I've been experimenting with using a terminal emulator (on the browser) as a search front and would like to know what you think (any and all feedback is most welcome).

1. Type ":help" to see help
2. You can open multiple links at once (see :help)
3. Some emacs keyboard shortcuts are available
4. Search history is available in cookies
5. All traffic goes directly to DDG's servers (except when you do 'pronounce' in which case an iframe from my site is invoked, but I don't log anything), so no privacy issue
6. No search term leakage because the URL is empty to start off with

Loading the link might take more that usual since I've disabled all caching.

Update: I forgot to mention. Tab-Completion is meant to give search suggestions, but currently uses a static array. Once DDG gets autocomplete, I'll integrate that as well.
