That definitely sounds clarifying. Thank you for the information! I'm going
to try those search engines, for sure.

Re: [Bug-gnuzilla] Feedback - default search engines

Why is Google approved by the GNUzilla project?

I didn't know about Searx, and it seems to be pretty suitable for being
one of Icecat's default search engines. My LibreJS addon gets crazy with
'Complain' messages when I enter ddg, forcing me to use the html
version. I'll definitely give it a try.

"Google's accuracy" is a distortion.
Anybody can type "www.google.com" to find its accuracy, and everybody
who knows Google knows this URL.

Google's presence there is as an approved company by GNUzilla project.

Searx project should be really approved.
