Hello! I’m trying out the whole AI search engine thingy with You.com but i wanna use firefox rather than the IOS app that they provide. I’ve already set You as the default search engine and that all works when I’m searching from within Firefox. But when using the IOS Spotlight search thingy, e.g the search thing that IOS app then pressing the firefox icon with my search, it simply searches with google instead of You.com.

Is there a fix for this?

I found out now that if you change the default search engine for Safari it will change it for the Firefox app too, which is idiotic but I suppose that’s how apple does it. Because Apple doesn’t let you add custom search engines you’re kinda stuck with the options they give you
