Description Aaron Dewes 2021-01-15 21:19:05 UTC 
According to the HTML standard, "The AddSearchProvider() and IsSearchProviderInstalled() methods must do nothing." (https://html.spec.whatwg.org/multipage/obsolete.html#external). In Falkon however, they still do what they were supposed to do previously.
Instead, <link rel="search"> should be used, which I'm not sure of if it is supported in Falkon.
