Maybe one should not only configure a general search engine, but a
search engine depending on a context.  Sometimes you might want to use a
specialised search engine (e.g. hoogle when working on Haskell), and
that should be automatically detected as the default.  In the same way,
if EWW would be using a special "context" to designate that it wants a
JS-free search engine (HTML DuckDuckGo).
