Jwalant,
the complete list of the currently provided Elvis is linked in the article. Other people have done their own ones, so the right way to go is to make an internet search specific for surfraw + the search engine you need.

If nobody else did it, you should write it yourself, since an Elvi is basically a chunk of shell code written by looking at how a certain website should be queried. I may write a post about it, if there is interest. Stay tuned.
