DDG bug: 883254

To add new search engines (where we have agreements in place) to the list of available search engines shipped in a build by default
This fairly straightforward activity is, however, dependent on a number of UX and UI changes, as well as some communication flows that must be adhered to
These are outlined in a 'phased' approach described below

Ensure (triple check) appropriate business agreements are in place and we have the correct search string for all supported locales
Agree on the locales the provided will be added to
Ensure search suggestions are available and the appropriate search string is supplied for mobile and/or tablet use
Only the default search provider will provide search suggestions
Search providers currently under active consideration:
- Yahoo
- Bing
- Duck Duck Go
Ensure the UI is in place to easily and intuitively change your default search engine (for when we want to change the default from Google [or Baidu in zh-CN]

As a user, I would like Bing to be included in my list of search providers (in supported locales) because I prefer their search results.
As a user, I would like Yahoo to be included in my list of search providers (in supported locales) because I prefer their search results.
As a user, I would like Duck Duck Go to be included in my list of search providers (in supported locales) because I prefer using their privacy-centric ethos in searching the web.
