With the modern configuration, how does a distribution customize/override the list/order of search engines for a given locale and the parameters for a given search engine?

Distributions filters can be added to the search engine configuration that has the ability to specify visibility / order etc

Hi Olivier, this is something that slipped through the gaps for how we handle Linux distros. We're figuring it out at the moment and will get back to you next week.

Please see bug 1651330 that I've just cc'ed you on.

Ack, thanks Mark.

This is now shipping. Any remaining/new issues will be tracked in their own bug. Note there is work going on to tidy up the search service after modernisation in bug 1619922.
