You can open the default search page instead.

It's reasonable to expect that winebrowser will open, yes. That's
precisely what's broken if we simply pass through to the Unix browser,
so providing a default argument seems like an obvious fix. I don't see
any benefit in adding complexity to try to make the Unix browser use its
default page instead of ours.
