Is it possible to get a option to out in a custom search engine in?

You can edit the searchproviders.yaml file to use any provider to pin as a homepage search.

@tucker19 I tried it out to add an additional search provider, as mentioned from @Dictynna-PHA.

Edit the file ./config/www/searchproviders.yaml. In my case I have added the search engine "metager.de" at the end of the file:

metager:
   id: metager
   url: https://metager.de/meta/meta.ger3
   name: metager
   method: get
   target: _blank
   query: eingabe

The help website from that search engine contains the needed information like the URL, which has to be used (german): https://metager.de/hilfe/funktionen#selist

Additionally, I changed the default search provide to metager. This is possible via the heimdall settings.

Additional reference to an other issue, also with an other search engine example: https://github.com/linuxserver/Heimdall/issues/882
