This is exactly what I thought about too. My knowledge about Android development is pretty limited but I might try to research that later.
They could literally add a text field allowing you to enter the search URL to be opened in the default browser... But I guess making this feature actually good isn't really in their interest.
Yeah - I'm kind of amazed they're doing it at all unless they're being made to maybe, by the EU or whatever.
Hope you find a solution!
You've hit the nail on the head - they are forced to do it by the EU.
Thanks!
