Goosh, a Web-based command-line interface for Google, works rather well on our Internet Tablets.....

That's way too cool!

But do you want to use the actual command line for web searching? Use SURFRAW (of course you'd need links as well to use it ).

Command line junkies of the world, UNITE!!

This is cool. But what is the optimum usage scenario? Does it work with lynx?
I mean, if you still need a full blown browser, it seems that we're missing out on the high points of command line tools (scriptable, pipe-able, can ben run over terminal\ssh, etc).

The point? To me the only point of goosh is "cause we can" or "cause it's fun!". It's not really usable as an actual command-line tool, as far as I can tell.

It's perfectly usable, provided you have a decent way to input text -- Which kinda throws all of Nokia's tablets out of the window...

To clarify, I didn't mean to say it doesn't work. Yes it does & I like it very much. When I said not usable I meant not usable from the command line or as a command line tool, as ysss points out you can't script with it, pipe to & from it, etc.

Sorry for the confusion.

No. It uses JavaScript.

I get time-outs on my N810. But I can use joystick up to recall the previous command, and that usually works.
I like the way it returns minimalist output, e.g. in maps.

translation is neat, too.

I use http://goosh.org as my home page.
Easy and very fast. for example:
if I don't know a English word: t es en word
if I look for a tool image o video: i (or v) tool
if I need a map from my village: m horche,spain
I have took some screenshots:
