Hopefully this will allow me to change the hard-coded Google search box on pixel home screens! I have the DDG search widget, but I cannot remove the Google search box that appears to be hard-coded to the home screen with no way to remove it or change the search provider (... unless someone knows otherwise?) So now I have two search widgets... I can use a separate launcher I guess, but it would be nice if I could just configure this without resorting to that.
