Original GitHub issue: https://github.com/benbusby/whoogle-search/issues/451

Able to add Whoogle via https://url:port/search?q=%s on Android (Vanadium and Bromite). No problem also on Firefox.

However, I have no success adding it to the list of search engines for Safari in iOS. The list of search engines available seems to be a static list. Any idea if it's possible to add in Safari?

Thanks

That's a bummer since Safari performs better and consume less power on Apple's chips :(

Yeah, it's a bummer. I currently just have Whoogle bookmarked first whenever opening a new tab in Safari. It adds a bit more time to my overall process for searching anything on my phone, but overall Safari (imo) has a better mobile browsing experience than any other mobile browser. If they'd allow setting custom search engines, I would be quite happy...
