        There is a way to do this but it's a little inconvenient. You type in the shortcut for the search engine you want e. g. d for duckduckgo or b for bing and than your search term. So you can a least another search engine than Google.

          In this day and age, it's ridiculous to not be able to change your default search engine besides one of those by Big Brother. There are many anonymous search engines out there like StartPage that should come with or have the option to add without doing 10 prayers and shortcuts. Come on guys, you want to compete with the other browsers?!
