Make Search Engine Configurable so you can add, and select to use, ANY search engine or search provider of choice. Don't limit users to Bing or Google. Yandex, Duck Duck Go, Alta-Vista and all the others help for various use cases.

BYOSE (Bring Your Own Search Engine) would be a great ENHANCEMENT.

That also includes websites you don't think of as search engines such as Wikipedia, library of congress, and YouTube. You can also manually add one in. You can see which ones you have available here:
