Well you can use arbitrary search engines that show up in the address
bar, but the UI for it is poor, and for technical reasons you cannot
set an arbitrary search engine as the default search engine. That's
something we should fix.

Keyword searches work out-of-the-box using DuckDuckGo, though you can't
configure them yourself. That's kind of a hidden feature, though.
Anyway, I don't expect you to switch personally. :)
