Feature: Let user choose from different search engines #8

Open GoogleCodeExporter opened 9 years ago

I think it is important to let the user choose from different search engines, 
specially because Google it is becoming a privacy nightmare :-/

I suggest to ask, in the first run of zirco, which search engine the user would 
like to use. Possible options: Google, Yahoo, DuckDuckGo 
(http://duckduckgo.com/). And then the user could change it later.

It's currently possible in preferences, you can choose from Google, Wikipedia, 
and custom.

But you seems to ask for more "real" search engines by default so i'll consider 
adding Yahoo, Bing (if it have a decent mobile website), or the one you 
suggested.

I don't see the need for a first-run wiard through, users usually go Next, 
Next, Next without reading...

I think DuckDuckGo should be a preset, it's pretty simple to configure manually 
with this in Custom:

(DuckDuckGo HTML + SSL, loads fast and secure on mobile)
