    I pay for Kagi because it does not have any form of advertising or “sponsored results”, and it consistently gives me the best results of any other browser I’ve tried.

    Apple supporting this would not be hard, as with all the other search engines the search is just a query parameter appended to the url, they could just provide a template string for “unsupported” search engines.

      Like everyone else does.

      Apple isn’t not supporting it because doing so would be hard, it’s just another way to maintain control over their walled garden and make a profit selling exclusivity.
