This looks really good!

Not sure if this is worth opening an issue over, but are you planning on supporting search engines other than google?

Due to time constraints we could not go beyond the defaults that we currently have. We have a bug open to allow people to select an alternative search engine: https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1318359

Seems like Duck Duck Go would fit well with what seems to be your mission with this project.

I only see it supporting yahoo. I didn't try very hard but in the settings there is no way to change it from yahoo, which is really frustrating. Did I overlook something?

For now, the search engine depends on your locale. Mozilla has partnerships with different search engines in different geographies.
