This is fixed when the package is in $PATH and no longer in store.

address@hidden ~$ echo $XDG_CONFIG_DIRS
/home/ng0/.guix-profile/etc/xdg:/run/current-system/profile/etc/xdg

address@hidden ~$ sr
Usage: sr [-help] [-elvi] elvis [elvioptions] [search terms]
       sr [options] bookmark [search terms]
    If you wish to run the elvi directly, run "surfraw-update-path" to append
        /gnu/store/fvx31h4z9pf910f3ycdqlpv5z6ii7lx5-surfraw-2.2.9/lib/surfraw 
to your $PATH in your shell's config files.
    See surfraw-update-path(1) for details
Options:
   -elvi  List elvi
   -help  This help
sr is an alias for surfraw
Global options:


etc etc...


I was able to search duckduckgo for "pong" with w3m.

There have been some commits since this release, but the response time
is slow.

I have no clue which web searches are a9 based so I can not test this.
This package is good to go from my side, just needs a review.
