You can add custom search engine definitions in the form of OpenSearch
XML files (http://www.opensearch.org/Specifications/OpenSearch/1.1).
Just drop those custom definitions in
~/.local/share/webbrowser-app/searchengines/, you should then be able
to use your favourite search engine from within the browser.
