Additional notes
Sometimes, requesting results from Qwant fails. So far I've encountered error 22 which I don't know what it means, and error 27 which means completing a captcha is required. Second request pretty much always works for me though. Not sure if that's an acceptable state, if not, I'm happy to potentially help with captcha implementation.
This search engine is implemented using the API, contrary to other ones which use scripting. That's because Qwant's frontend is not paginated and there's no way to force it to be, so I couldn't scrape more than one page worth of results. And because of that I decided to just use the API itself.
