For what it's worth, I'm a *huge* user of arbitrary search engines. In
Firefox and Chrome, I have them saved as keyword searches so I can do
things like
`man gcc`
and
`bz 1296670`
and
`koji sssd`

and those will immediately take me to the appropriate pages on those
sites. That to me is a killer feature that would prevent me from
switching (but don't let that affect the default discussion; I will
still install whichever browser works best for me).
