has been gradually improving on the desktop but it isn't happening for their
Android browser yet.</p>

<p>Vanadium supports adding search engines through the <a
href="https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/OpenSearch">OpenSearch</a> format.
To add a search engine and set it as the default search engine, the process is as
follows:</p>

<ol>
<li>Go to the website and perform a search.</li>
<li>Go to <strong>Settings > Search Engine</strong> and set the search engine
which now appears under <strong>Recently Visited</strong> as the default search
engine.</li>
</ol>

<p>If the search engine does not appear even after performing a search, it may be
using POST HTTP requests by default to handle your queries, even if the website serves
an OpenSearch Document. For Vanadium to detect the search engine, queries need to be
made with GET HTTP requests.</p>

<p>If you have turned on GET HTTP requests with the search engine and Vanadium still
does not detect the search engine, it likely does not serve an OpenSearch document, and
cannot be added as a search engine.</p>
