I'd say there are only 2 options at the moment.

  1. remake the multi-engine
  2. get internal ID for Bing and add it to the array of ids in the multi-engine's template

To get the ID for Bing, you could make a temporary multi-engine with Bing and another engine, then copy the ID that shows up in the template list.

It's a bit awkward to add an engine to an already existing multi-engine, but it can be done. Normally, I'd say just remake the engine like you did originally, but include the new engine. That is kind of a pain. I'll look into a more convenient way in the future.

Thanks mate for the detailed explanation. And it would be very useful if you could implement the easier method to add this as one always try to add new ones overtime and it would be really helpful
