How to add more search engines ?

[serge111]

Now the way to add new search engines is so stupid - needed change the properties (use as "default") to add in the padding button of the search window.
But number of search engines in the padding button is limited to 3 only. If to add any new over 3 - another is gone & only 3 shown/available.
Does it possible to fix that ?
P.S. In Vivaldi number of search engines not limited & 9 by default (+DuckDuckGo, Qwant, Ecosia, Wikipedia etc...).

I don't think there is a limit of 3 introduced by Slimjet. I think there is a problem with the underlying chromium engine GUI for this feature.

Sure, it's common problem with the chromium engine GUI. But Vivaldi team somehow resolve/fix this chromium bug ...
Does it possible to fix this bug in Slimjet too ?

Anything is possible

I think the problem is with the GUI as opposed to a hard limit imposed by the chromium engine.

The Vivaldi team has completely written the GUI for interacting with the settings. It is difficult to know if they replaced the search engine management completely or if they just wrapped it with their GUI and make use the original core chromium engine code from their unique GUI.

As far as I can remember the Slimjet people have been silent on the forums regarding this issue. And I don't remember seeing anything in their blog about it.
