Some proposals

[ghost]

Hi, first of all I compliment the team for this interesting project, I have some things that I’d like to be implemented if possible:

1. are you planning on adding more engines to the image search other than qwant?
2. can you make the public instances’ fallback optional? Maybe as a UI setting? That could make sense for any user who just wants to rely on his own local instance.
3. when I choose an engine and search, switching to another engine requires going back to the settings and save. Is it possible to make the switch faster? For example, 4get has a drop-down menu on top of the results page where you can select another engine and you get an instantaneous search with the scraper that you’ve chosen.
   Thanks in advance.

Not planning, but a PR would definitely be welcome!

It actually is optional! The host can set that for now, but I could definitely see some use in the user being able to set that as well.

Should be possible, but I don't think I'd like that to be fair; mostly due to rate-limiting.
