can you set a custom URL, which is required to do what the article is talking about, or do you just pick from the predefined list of search engines?

edit: just checked and nope, you can only pick from Google, Yahoo, Bing, DuckDuckGo and Ecosia.

You have to visit a different search engine. And while the tab is open it appears in the list of selectable search engines. At least that is how I set up searxng as my default se.
