Record measured rate-limit behaviour per engine

Concrete numbers from development rather than a vague warning: Google
tolerates a lot then blocks for ~90 minutes, Brave challenges after one or
two queries and clears in ~15-20, and DuckDuckGo and Bing never challenged
at all. That last fact is the useful one — it says which engine to reach
for when several searches are needed in a row.

+- Searching hard trips rate limiters for the whole host, and the challenge
+  affects the human using that browser too. Measured during development:
+  **Google** tolerated a lot, then roughly 30 queries in a few minutes cost about
+  90 minutes of blocking. **Brave** is far stricter — it challenges after as few
+  as one or two queries and clears again in roughly 15–20 minutes. **DuckDuckGo**

 - **A decaying block does not look like a block.** Once the challenge page stops
   being served, engines return an *empty results page* for a while instead —
   indistinguishable from a query with no hits. It surfaces as `NoResultsError`,
