My availability looks to be limited this week, so I can't be relied upon
to research this further this week.

For me, using the URL with w3m (outside of emacs) produces a
non-response with no error exit code. Using only the base part of the
URL path produces what looks like a version number.

Using firefox, the website seems to require _javascript_ for all its
functionality, so if there is a bug, fixing the bug won't help
@touxstone perform the search because both w3m and emacs-w3m reject the
notion of _javascript_ support (a major reason why I use those two
programs).

So it seems to me that there is no bug here. Presuming emacs-w3m
processes the request properly, the resulting HTML is an empty page due
to lack of JS support. emacs-w3m then correctly looks for the anchor
'result' and correctly does not find it, and correctly reports this.

You can try this out for any non-JS URL, and see the same behavior. For
example:

   http://emacs-w3m.namazu.org/#result
