    Custom search engines are limited to PC browsers only. Unfortunately, the mobile versions of these browsers will not let you set up a custom search, so you’re stuck tapping on the Web view in all your mobile search queries.

    someone hasn’t heard of Firefox on Android.

        can you set a custom URL, which is required to do what the article is talking about, or do you just pick from the predefined list of search engines?

        edit: just checked and nope, you can only pick from Google, Yahoo, Bing, DuckDuckGo and Ecosia.

          You have to visit a different search engine. And while the tab is open it appears in the list of selectable search engines. At least that is how I set up searxng as my default se.
