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.
