Search engine icon clearly shows the current selected search engine
Saves time by enabling quick search engine switching without retyping queries
Useful for users who frequently need to switch search engines

Cons

Does not work properly on some browsers (e.g., Kiwi Browser, Brave) and some versions of Chrome/Chromium
Limited number of search engines can be selected or switched (limit around 5-7), which is insufficient for some users
Bing searches add 'mkt=zh-CN' parameter, changing region settings undesirably
