Keystroke to search via search engine

Hi,

I just discovered Lynx and I found it really interesting, and I'm 
planning to replace my regular browser with Lynx for some tasks. I just 
have one problem, in that it seems to me that the only way to search 
using a search engine in Lynx, is to type out the URL of the search 
engine, let that page load, and then type in the search string in the 
search box. Is there already a simpler way to do this, that I have 
missed? For example, to set up a default search engine and then use a 
single keystroke to enter a search query and directly get the results?

Apologies in advance if there is already a way to do this. If not, I am 
open to implementing such a feature if the rest of the community agrees.

Thanks,
Saniya
