My number one reason. Safari won’t let me customize the search engine. If I had that I would use safari all day long.

No this one specifically for me, but same idea. I want to use safari, especially for battery life, but there are too many behaviors about Safari that I can't change.
It's such a silly limitation. There are extensions, but they're all imperfect hacks.
They are annoying hacks too because the common one the search still goes to the chosen default and then the extension hijacks and redirects.
I see 5 choices for search engine in Settings? Are you saying you want one not listed?
yes, for example they have Ecosia but not Qwant (they are said to share their index but for my searches, I often flip over to Qwant when Ecosia results for the same query are not adequate.) I understand why Safari went with a search engine whitelist but I wish there was a way to make exceptions.
Yes. The obvious choice for HN is not listed in it. It’s a silly limitation anyway.
