You're right, it's not possible to set a custom search engine on safari. An extension is the only way. Blame apple :)

Insanity. There used to be some kind of opensearch type thing even in Safari years ago.

I guess they took it away. Ridiculous.

Probably the reason why google pay so much to them. This is so insane....

It's pretty bad, but to be clear, it's not that you can't pick anything other than the default, it's that you are given a tiny selection of the biggest players and have to choose from them. Other browsers allow you to specify an arbitrary URL for it to inject the query string into.

I think Safari used to allow this. Or maybe they didn't, because I used to use something like this years ago and maybe that was when I was using chrome. Does anyone remember if Safari had this?

Damn, that's something that needs to be regulated.
