For most search engines, you can also store your preferences inside the URL itself. This is great for having the same experience across devices and if you clear any cookies when your browser shuts down. Make sure that you have those preferences in when you save as a new search engine.
You should also prefer `POST` over `GET`. Depending if there's a `%s` in the URL, it's using `GET`. If it's not present in the examples below, make sure to hit the _Advanced settings_ when adding it as search engine and check `POST`. Then provide `q={searchTerms}` in the input field.

Be sure to add shortcuts to be used in your navigation bar, e.g. `@ddg` refers to DuckDuckGo search engine and directly issues searches to DuckDuckGo from the navigation bar and does not use the default search engine, but your default!
