How do I make Qwant.com my default browser?

I use Firefox Focus for android, but I want to make Qwant.com my default browser instead of Google. I go to settings, change default browser and it asks for the name of the search engine I want to use, then the string for it. I have no idea what the string is supposed to be. It says to type it like the example, so I do, but it says "not found". Does anyone know how to do this?

It's https://www.qwant.com/?q=%s

Basically, the URL of the results page, but with %s where Firefox is supposed to put the query terms.

Hmm, just realized I tested on Firefox for Android and not Firefox Focus for Android. Hopefully it's the same URL either way.
