Also, you can define and use short monikers/aliases for search engines. Each of the pre-installed search engines uses the first letter of its name as a nickname. Simply type this nickname in the Address Bar (d for DuckDuckGo or e for Ecosia, for example) followed by a space to select that specific engine. These features are quite useful.
