Description

Describe the feature

I'd like to see you.com as a supported search engine. I understand it'd likely need to be a web one.

Why would it be useful to add?

You.com similar to bings new AI search has its own AI based search and chat. The privacy is comparable to duckduckgo. The service actually had AI chat in search before both Google and Bing.

Did the feature exist in Lawnchair v2? (Play Store version)

No

Example(s)

No drawing needed. Just same support as other web search providers.

Additional context

Research direction
To add You.com as a web search engine, locate the file where search providers are defined (likely SearchEngineProvider.java or similar). Look at existing web search entries like 'duckduckgo' or 'bing' to understand the format. The change requires adding a new entry with the search URL format (e.g., 'https://you.com/search?q={query}') and the display name. Ensure the entry is added to the appropriate list and follows the same pattern. No other changes are needed.
