Google's not beyond criticism, but it's a good service, and one users
expect to have available.

It's trivially easy to change the default search engine in Firefox, and
not much more difficult to add additional search engines to the list.
Adding a few under-appreciated open source search engines to the list
seems like a reasonable proposal. Removing Google from the list does not.
