How to switch default search engine to Qwant? (Or any other engine that isnt included as default) (piefed.social)

I have already downloaded it as an extension, it is simply not allowing me to set it as default. It shows me the button, but does not work when toggled.

I did both of those. It works for the ones that come available, but simply won't work with Qwant. I am able to click the options, it just does not switch.

I just fiddled around with it and got it to work this way:

Open qwant in a new tab. Right-click in the empty search text field and click "add as search engine." Then go to settings > search > default search engine etc. and make it a default. I don't know if the qwant extension does anything tbh.

I came across a note that qwant isn't available everywhere as a pre-set-up search engine. Who knows why that is so...

Success! Thank you so much!
