## special handler for altavista, since they only hand out chunks of 10 at
## a time.  Tries to isolate out results without the leading/trailing trash.
## multiword arguments are foo+bar, as usual.
## Second optional arg switches the "what" field, to e.g. "news"

test "${1}" = "" && echo 'Needs an argument to search for!' && exit 1
