Just to add to this request, along with the additional search engines suggested I would like the facility to add your own custom search engine/string. Along with meaning you could add whatever search engine you want, it would allow you to 'save' your preferences for some engines which let you specify parameters using the URL rather than saving them in cookies.

Hi, Thanks for your suggestions. We have included Qwant for the next version, which will be released soon. We will then work on an option to add custom search engines based on a predefined search scheme.

Custom search engine were introduced with SnowHaze 3.2. You can set up your preferred search engine by providing the search scheme and even define the format for suggestions.

You can add Brave search by choosing "Custom" in the search engine list. Add https://search.brave.com/search?q=@query@ in the field Search URL.

You can add Brave search by choosing "Custom" in the search engine list. Add https://search.brave.com/search?q=@query@ in the field Search URL.

This seems to work, but Suggestion API URL is not (at least I don't think it is): https://search.brave.com/api/suggest?q=@query@

I don't see suggestions from "Custom Search" when typing in the address bar...just ability to search what I've typed so far. Can you please advise? Is the JSONPath API required?
