Feature request - add Searx search engine
Hi, would it be possible to add the Searx search engine to the list of available search engines? (If it's too complicated, it would be possible by letting the user choose which instance to set up).
Thank you very much.
How would you solve the integration? Because as I see you would need to define the endpoint, correct? Which could be a dynamic list. Would it be enough to define a free text field for a custom search engine?

Thank you for your response,
Indeed, That's what I meant about choosing the instance, what you call the endpoint.
If this is not possible to integrate, you can close my request, I would understand, it's just that the search system is very secure in terms of privacy protection.

To make my answer more precise, This is exactly what I thought for the idea of a free field where the user would define the instance to be used by Clipboard Actions to do the search;
for the idea of a list, it would surely complicate the integration a lot, because Clipboard Actions would have to choose which of the defined instances to use to do the search and display it correctly, or do an identical search for each instance of the list.
Well anyway I'll put it on the dev list. I might anyway rework all the actions to have some generic ways to define an action so I could use that as a starting point.
I suggest a app in google play for you demo (searchbar ex). It's custom define search by url (use %s to define search string). If you can add this feature, it's awesome.
