Thanks, Regina. This bug isn't about adding or even users themselves removing
additional dictionaries; it's about the default dictionaries shipped with the
product, which break basic functionality.
Thanks for the bug links, too. I was familiar not familiar with the first one,
but have added it as a related entry, here (note that that one is marked as a
defect, as expected).
I'll post something to the forum, and we'll see if we can collect some useful
suggestions. I do see some internationalization issues, however, and we can't
make these language-dependent, because the same language may be sued in
multiple locales, or a user in one locale may choose to install a different
language - unless in a separate RFE, this entire thing were proposed as an
extension, allowing the user to add and subtract blocks of search engines at
will.
Cheers

You can add a dictionary too. For example dict.cc with prefix
http://www.dict.cc/?s= in case "exact".
Wikipedia would be possible too, but it is language dependent. For example
https://de.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/ as prefix for case "exact" will call a German
article. It can be described in the help, so that the user can added it
himself.
In addition see issue #77000 and issue #47839.

I'll look at providing a patch, of course.
I don't see this as an enhancement, though, as we're talking about removing
from the code search engines which no longer exist. An enhancement would be the
ability to provide a user interface to do this.
I can surely modify the xml, but I'd like to come up with a list of proposed
current search engines, first. Suggestions as to where to solicit proposed
entries? The forum?
Thanks

The problem is not only which search engines to use, but to get the prefix and
suffix for search engines, and to get them in a way, that they work independent
from language. Therefore I think it is a good idea to collect such informations
in forum and mailing list.
But it would be good to have the resulting information in this issue, so that
in case you cannot finish it (for whatever reason) the informations are not
lost.
