[Surfraw-devel] bbcnews elvi patch

[Sumant Oemrawsingh]

Hi,

I noticed that when using the bbcnews elvi without arguments, it goes to a 404
page. Here's a diff for the trivial fix.

Note that the old version apparently also visited a different URL depending on
the -scope option. I found, however, that they probably get your "scope" from
your IP or so, and visiting a different URL depending on the scope just
forwards you to the URL that fits your IP. So, I removed the meaning of -scope
for use without arguments.

With arguments (i.e. the actual search) the elvi still uses the -scope
argument, but it doesn't seem to do much by ways of results. Nevertheless, I
didn't touch it, since I never use the -scope option anyway.

Anyway, here's the diff.
