Thanks for the update to a more amenable search engine.

I note that "search_url_bar" is set to 1 by default and so works out
of the box.

Initially the feature appeared not to be working but that turned out
to be that a single word search is interpreted as a URL which Netsurf
attempts to fetch. Two or more words are just fine. A "+" before a
single word also ducks the issue.

This is on the RISC OS Netsurf.

HTH.
