Thanks!

It doesn't force you to use Bing.

You can configure it by following these docs: https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/terminal/customize-settings/interaction#web-searching

That "Preview" label is outdated. We need to go through and clean those up.

By this point, there is also a setting in the settings page for it. The visual editor for it may be preview-only.

In addition, you can add additional key bindings all of which go to a different search engine!
