[issue364] grml-etc-core: search engine alternatives

[Alexander Steinböck]

New submission from Alexander Steinböck <z3ttacht at grml.org>:

As Google's effort to just store everything, recently discussed on
IRC, I thought it would be nice to offer alternative search engines
within grml.
After a little bit of searching (o;, I think scroogle[1] and
ixquick[2] are quite good aproaches.

Unfortunately, for the latter, I wasn't able to find out how to get,
for example 100, search results into the first page. It's just
available by settings. Please edit, if you can figure that out.

There's a SSL version for ixquick as well. But that one requires a
self-signed certificate - kinda annoying - which contains a bad cert
- e.g. w3m's complaining. In association to that it's kind of slow.
