[Feature-request] Quick search engine selection

Would be great, if you could select/change the search engine in browser quickly. Maybe something like following:

1) write search term to addres bar normally

2) if pressing >> (the button on bottom right corner) browser would use default serch engine and do the search as it normally would.

BUT

If you do the step 2,like this: Hold >> button => User would get list of available search engines and tapping one, would use that search engine for that search (not changing it to default).

I think this is needed since quite often I seem to end up to google search bubble. But Still I don't want to change my dafault, since most of times it's the best for me. I can sure go to duckduckgo.com and search again, but would be great if I could just quickly select the search engine in browser instead.

Edit 8.2.2015: Second thought about this. Maybe the easiest and more Sailfish way would be following.. When typing address there is typically pulley menu there. What about adding available search engines there to the pulley? There just should be some way to user reorganize order of pulley (at least in which order those search engines are listed).
