config.toml: switch to Google search
I'm not happy about this, but the alternatives are worse.
* DDG has degraded a lot lately:
- (I think?) it appends my location to the Bing queries, which
might be useful for searching restaurants, but only increases
noise when looking for something technical.
- Lately it also shoves LLM-generated summaries of websites in
my face - which I wouldn't even mind if the "summaries"
weren't in the typical overly verbose LLM style...
Also, not a degradation per se, but DDG can't load images without JS
(neither lite nor html), while Google can. Only relevant now that we
have images.
* Other large search providers either don't load without JS, or give
us a layout that we can't render.
* Smaller search providers (Mojeek, Marginalia) sadly don't have CJK
support. (DDG performs quite poorly here, too.)
* Metasearch engines (Searx, etc.) require self-hosting to work
consistently, which I lack resources for.
I'm sending ucbcb=1 and gbv=1, both of which are appended by Google
and apparently stand for "no cookies" and "no JS", respectively.
Also, I have added a siteconf entry to strip the click tracking.
The default ddg: omni-rule remains, so users who wish to switch back can
set in config.toml:
[page]
C-k = '() => pager.load("ddg:")'
