Add search engine comparison table

redoomed1 commented 2 months ago

Changes proposed in this PR:

Add comparison table for the Search Engines page, following the lead of https://github.com/privacyguides/privacyguides.org/pull/2478
- Make changes enumerated here and here

As marked on GitHub, this is a draft PR as wording and formatting is not set in stone. I'm unsure of what to rearrange, add, or remove, so any feedback is welcome. Here are some questions as a starting point:

Logging: Is it better to list information that is logged in the table, and list what isn't logged in the description under each card; or, as in the DNS comparison table, just link to a footnote explaining the logging policies?
Countries of operation: List it in a column, or include it in the descriptions of each recommendation? (The latter is done for the VPN recommendations.)
Metasearch engines: Being that SearXNG is not like the other providers on this page, does it necessitate a new "Metasearch engines" heading; or should it still be included in the table?

Changes made since the initial commit:

Removed "Country of Operation" column from the table and incorporated the information into the descriptions of each recommendation
United the "Logging" and "Privacy Policy" columns to one (idea from https://github.com/privacyguides/privacyguides.org/pull/2509)
Added footnotes to each entry in the "Logging / Privacy Policy" column, using the DNS Resolvers page as a reference
