   I tried elinks with frogfind.com and I discovered that the best way to   
   kind of replicate buffers are to start elinks with all the sites I have on   
   my reading list (elinks $(cat links.txt)). In the links.txt I have   
   prefixed all my sites with frogfind.com.   
      
   I then discovered that they all entered the global history file, and in   
   that file I can search among the sites.   
      
   So all sites are opened in invisible tabs, and I can search for them in   
   either the globalhistory, or I can make sure they are all saved as   
   bookmarks, and drop the tabs altogether.   
      
   Frogfind makes it fairly palatable!
