Before posting I tried a Google search in Dillo and was redirected
to a page saying:
"Turn on JavaScript to keep searching"

Same thing today.

Apparantly some specific user-agents might be excepted, although
that seems inconsistent with aiming to block bots since it's an
obvious solution for them too.

Video and image searches didn't need JS and are actually still
working in Dillo even though full web searches are denied. My guess
is that they'll roll the redirects out to them as well before long
though.
