Has anyone figured out how to add a search engine option to the list Apple offers?

DuckDuckGo prioritizes MSN's lifted pages. I need original pages. This MSN crap is unacceptable.

I’ve seen XSearch recommended a few times but I’ve never used it myself:

I use it and it’s pretty great, though it sometimes does feel like a hack (I mean, that’s essentially what it is).

For a better experience pick a search engine in Safari that you’ve blocked with DNS so that you’ll never see a glimpse of it before xSearch redirects you (as you would on a slower network).
