Subject: bug#35301: Guix's Eolie pushes google.com as default search and home page

Guix,
After installing the eolie Web browser from Guix and opening it
for the first time, it immediately loads www.google.com. This was
an unpleasant surprise to me (I lead a sheltered life) and I
consider it a bug.
From cursory source-pokin's it seems pretty trivial to change the
default start page to guix.info or about:blank.
However, www.google.com is also used as the default search engine
when the user mistypes a URL or searches from the navigation bar.
Not good! There doesn't seem to be a way to disable that, only to
change the providers.
Built-in alternatives are DuckDuckGo and Qwant. Are they any
better?
Kind regards,
T G-R
