And probably shouldn't be, for obvious reasons. Could be replaced by some searx / 4get instance but we should probably get the permission of the host, or host our own at some point, even.

You might be wondering where is the search engine even used. If you select a message (or part of it) and right click, an "Actions for..." menu will appear, which contains the option "Web search for it". It will use whatever search engine is defined in Edit -> Preferences -> Advanced -> Advanced Configuration Editor -> search_engine.

This one in particular is a really easy fix, but what search engine should we recommend that's not always going offline (like searx) and doesn't have other problems? I typically use Brave Search myself but there might be something better?
