Both mobile version and full version in the same file?

So just the mobile version, then.

I gather that you expect the rendered page to include a link for each
search result.

In the document you attached to your message, it looks to me like the
some of the anchor elements (ie, the stuff enclosed in 'a' tags)
contain div elements. In particular, the anchor elements that define
the links you are looking for are among these div-containing anchors.

It seems that Lynx does not render anchors as links when they contain
div elements.

I've attached two small minimally distinct files that demonstrate
this.*

I do not know of any.
