It annoys me to no end that Safari only gives you a limited set of search engines to pick from. Changing it to anything else requires a cumbersome trick of catching a search URL and redirecting to something else, which not only stops you from using that particular search engine, it makes every search slower you’re sending your query to two entities instead of one.
Seeing as Apple has reportedly partnered with Google to power their LLM offering, I don’t expect that to change soon. I hope I am wrong.
- carlosjobim 5mo agoOn MacOS Safari you can set your homepage / new tab page to whatever search engine you like. It's almost as convenient. On iOS it's worse.
- latexr 5mo agoThat doesn’t work for me because it’s very common that I’ll just repurpose the page I am on by doing ⌘L and typing something. Plus, my tabs open with the Start Page, showing my Reading List and iCloud Tabs, so I never even see the homepage.
