I wish we could just add our own default search with a search string template like when the Internet was still alive.
That being said, I like using the slightly more obscure presearch.com and Swisscows.com, for what it’s worth.

- lpln3452 1y agoFirefox still lets you do this. You can add any URL as a custom search engine by providing a string template for the query. It doesn't have to be a formal "search provider". Any URL that accepts a query string will work.
- a022311 1y agoIMO the problem with Firefox is that custom search engines in Firefox can't use POST requests, even though it's supported. You may want to check Mycroft Project [1] out for that. [1]: https://mycroftproject.com/ https://mycroftproject.com/
- int_19h 1y agoThe only major browser that I can think of that doesn't support custom search URLs, including making one the default, is Safari.
