App summary
This is a very basic app. Designed for people who wants to use a search widget with their preferred search engine.
This app contains a search bar to type in a search query, which will be opened in the Internet browser. A widget for the home screen will simply start the app.
You can change the search engine in the settings (Default is DuckDuckGo) or type in a custom search string. The app also saves the search queries as a history.

Good. Versatile, Google avoidance possible. Just need to quiet down the look of it with some customisation options, especially transparency.
