it's kinda odd that it seems google search results shows up
differently when used in Opera and w3m with emacs interface.
For example, i've defined this:

The results from using Opera, Safari, Firefox, in google search seems
to differ from results shown in w3m.
To test, try this url in Firefox and w3m/emacs:
http://www.google.com/search?q=%%22The%%20computer%%20wizards%%20at%%20Industria...
Firefox shows many results, top one is this time mag article:
http://www.time.com/time/magazine/article/0,9171,981238-1,00.html
but in w3m it just shows one vocabulary page on my website that quoted
this phrase.
Anyone reproduce? I'm suspecting this is w3m bug or the w3m-mode bug?

You can reproduce the two different results if you call your browser with or
without the quotes `"' surrounding your query expression, which are translated
to `%%22' at the beginning and end of the string sent to the browser.
So I think you call emacs/w3m with and firefox without them.
