It works. Just remember to add "%s" at the end of your favourite search engine URL. Funziona. Solo ricorda di aggiungere "%s" alla fine dell'URL del tuo motore di ricerca preferito. Example: https://www.ecosia.org/search?method=index&q=%s 1. Fill with your search engine URL Domain 2. Search method URL string (extract it from any search) 3. Add "%s" next the last "="
