Hmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm.........

Let me see now, you're asking me to type my searches into a website that:

    - Has weird domain name
    - Has no obvious indication of jurisdiction or ownership
    - Has no obvious privacy policy, terms & conditions
    - By design aggregates my queries across multiple services
Erm.

No. NO. NO !

What's up with the weird domain name? Also, how is this different than just using the omnibar provided by all major browsers?

It is IDNA, the standard for encoding international unicode names into ascii dns. In this case the name is the encoding for ä1.com and that is what would show up in browsers that convert punycode back to ascii in the url bar.

It offers more advanced search options than the omnibar for example only search in a specific subreddit

Nice!

I'd like to have an option to save a list of sites and terms to exclude by default. Google would be so much nicer if I could tell it to "ignore these 57 sites and all things Kardashian unless I say otherwise".
