Hello,

I would personally simplify editor menu. Too many options there is not good option and might be misleading. So I opt for moving "Search on Google" and "Search on the official site.." to "Search on menu" (This entry shouldn't have .., because it doesn't spawn any external dialog or redirect to browser):
Search on ->
   Google..
   Official site..
   Separator /* Not hard coded engines */
   CppReference..
   DuckDuckGo..
   ...

Thanks to that editor menu will not be overload with options.

Also "ide.search" nice idea for external modification, however we should use regular TheIDE serialization procedures (binary) and bump settings version. We should keep all TheIDE options in standardize way. If we want to keep it in external file that is easy to modify by the user then let's do it for all options. Partial solution will always increase fragmentation.

I like the idea of supporting more sources. With the solution that we will have the option to specify default engine only we will lose that ability. Also, sites like CppReference is extremely useful for the learning purpose (C++ and standard library).

If we will gain popularity - sure we could try selling default option here. Maybe we should ask DuckDuckGo if they want to buy it Smile
