Switch engines
- Per search — tap the engine icon in the search bar.
- Default — Settings → Search → Default engine.
Custom engines
Add any engine that accepts a %s query placeholder (most do). Define its search URL and suggestions URL in Settings → Search → Add engine.
Suggestions
Each engine can provide live suggestions as you type, via its suggestions API. Turn this off in Settings if you’d rather not send partial queries.
