As me what I wanted to use as search engine, and list Google as one them.

I'm afraid that's not possible, and hope that Standard8 will explain why in the next few days.

In the meantime, I'm closing this as wontfix, so that people know that the change was intentional, and that we're not going to revert it in the near future.

Thanks,
Blake.

Will the management GUI be looked at in the near future or is that also intentionally not possible?

Thanks,

Marcel

No-one is currently working on it, but if you'ld like to come up with a design (and possibly even a patch), I'ld happily review it!  :)

If none of the volunteers pick it up, someone employed by the corporation will probably get around to taking a look at it sometime, although I can't predict when.

Later,
Blake.
