Re: Search requests.
Simple request for them to being added, or replace any, it does not change anything if they are not accepted/applied.
I am a bit surprised that Mozilla does not put their Add-ons as a search.

Re: Search requests.
The add-ons search is already integrated in the add-on manager (it's a more logical place to have it there anyway).
As for added search engines - unless they are going to benefit everyone, they are best left as "search plugins" to add yourself for your own searches. Everyone has their own preference. If I were to add the (vendor specific) YouTube search, I'd also have to add competitors...
I've actually been moving away from including commercial preferences in Pale Moon (removed eBay and Amazon, for example) as defaults, I wouldn't want to re-introduce them.
Qrobe is a multi-search engine, just like dogpile and others; never even heard of it before now
Same applies, if I'd add one, I'd have to add more. Probably best left to the user which one they want to use? I wouldn't want to push too many defaults and let people decide for themselves, so I'm only including a selection of the "big few" as defaults.

Re: Search requests.
Qrobe searches Bing and Google privately, so they do not count our searches. (I used to use mamma.com in the past.)Moonchild wrote:Qrobe is a multi-search engine, just like dogpile and others; never even heard of it before now
Both find things that the other does not, depending on the search.
I would use Qrobe's Privatelee, but it does not give suggestions while typing queries.
I understand, just simply giving a request, not hoping for it to happen.

Re: Search requests.
Actually, Google + Bing + Ask, according to the site. Personally, I wouldn't want any results from Ask when I search for something 
And, if you recall from another thread on this board about a similar privacy-shielding search engine, the search engines queried DO count and track searches that are proxied and search results will vary because of that. They just don't do any tracking themselves and your individual searches can't be traced back to you personally. It should be noted that individual tracking is not done by the big search engines, they only use aggregates. Those aggregates are still collected.

Okay, I will just "Duck it" from henceforth, I already complained to DDG because they do not have image display section.Moonchild wrote:Actually, Google + Bing + Ask, according to the site. Personally, I wouldn't want any results from Ask when I search for something
