Works fine

I use it to set my default search to my local instance of SearXNG… works like a champ!

Works as intended!

After following the instructions, it works just as I hoped! All my searches now go to StartPage. My only disappointment is that it doesn’t seem to work in private tabs despite enabling it to work in private mode. But perhaps I am missing something. I can settle for DDG at least in that scenario!

Better than others

I've tried a few other extensions for using a custom search engine in Safari and I find this one works the best. It seems to load the custom engine directly rather than having the default engine load then redirecting.

Not working properly

Broken on iOS18. Was working fine before, now it only works if choosing Google in safari settings.
