give this a test ride:

Code:
#!/bin/bash

echo enter something
read URL

LINK=http://www.localhost/index.php
SEARCH=$LINK${URL:+?s=+$URL}

echo $SEARCH

lynx -dump $SEARCH

You don't want to be doing this:

LINK1=$( lynx.... )

exec $LINK1

this syntax: $( command ) already executes the command.
you'll be exec-ing total garbage.

notice that i've removed that syntax from this code.
