Feature request: allow invoking a websearch using the configured search engine

[Michael Zanetti]

Some apps may want to trigger a web search in the browser. Right now there is the possibility to do something like

Qt.openUrlExternally("https://google.com?q=foobar")

However, the search engine might be blocked in some countries or not be the user's favourite one. It would be great if we could do something like:

Qt.openUrlExternally("websearch://foobar")

I haven't fully thought the websearch:// scheme through yet, so probably this requires a case study on the used uri scheme and/or query arguments. Maybe there's some standard uri scheme for this? Or maybe even just something like http://foobar?

Adding Tagger as that one has a hardcoded search engine and thus fails to search in some countries.
