name --> Name shown in the context menu.
url --> the search engine url where selected text replaces the "search_term".
key --> is the suffix key for the leader key (default ALT+c) to be used like "LEADER --> key" to access the search engine.
default --> implicitly all engines are set to false. set to true to set an engine as the default and use the "ALT+x" keybind to access it directly.
enabled --> implicitly all engines are set to true. set to false to disable an engine.

For example here's a Wikipedia engine rule,

[
  {
    "name": "Wikipedia",
    "url": "https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?search=search_term",
    "key": "w",
    "default": false,
    "enabled": true
