for "parity' with the mobile browsers, we should add: Bing, Yahoo, Amazon.com, Twitter, and Wikipedia.

I would also suggest:

  • A searx instance such as searx.me
  • startpage.com and/or ixquick

I was working on this for https://github.com/brave/browser-laptop/issues/466 (example near the bottom)

Still needs UI fixes and preferences page added though

most excellent!

Is it possible to add qwant.com too ?

Qwant would be nice +1

I would also suggest:

  • A searx instance such as searx.me
  • startpage.com and/or ixquick

@bbondy is it worth considering or under consideration to implement OpenSearch?

we do parse OpenSearch for Google and DuckDuck go. I think we can just do a simple big list like this in preferences though, I think there's a mockup in one of the preferences issues.

+1 from support for IxQuick/StartPage

Please also add searx.me meta search engine. cc: @asciimoo

please add search.gibberfish.org as searx.me alternative, it's hosted by a non polrofit organization, searx.me seems to be overloaded, not to mention gets it's results from.german versions of.search engines, gibberfish gets.them from american versions
