Search: the compare tool first, engines named, no false Free (#214)

OP OpenVibers committed 2 days ago · 3cdcc379ef · 2 files, +89 −25

- "Compare two engines" leads the page: the box with its button, Web / Pictures / Icons as a switch, the two engines
  side by side (grouped by kind, "needs a key" marked; the first two that work are picked), picture filters in one
  fold that opens when one is set; results under it with titled links, rounded thumbnails and a small source fold
- then the engines, grouped by kind under one heading
- engines this list did not know (brave-images, serper-images, meta, openvibe-egress) get names and lines; an
  unknown id is title-cased instead of printed raw
- an engine with no flat price says "Priced per call" (with its pricing note as the title) instead of "Free"
