Do you know if this will component will be updated or if it will just need to be removed prior to the June deadline? ![This image shows a notice within the Discourse software interface, indicating that one of the themes called "Baidu Search" needs to be updated for compatibility with upcoming core changes, and it currently supports updates automatically when the software is updated.

I think it would be reasonable to make a #Contribute > Feature request. It seems a good idea for the admin/user to set up their preferred search engine. Fixing the TC would require a [plugin outlet](https://meta.discourse.org/t/using-plugin-outlet-connectors-from-a-theme-or-plugin/32727). If the team is okay with it, I can make a PR to add one. ---

There is actually an existing plugin outlet introduced recently. I made a PR: [https://github.com/discourse/discourse-baidu-search/pull/22](https://github.com/discourse/discourse-baidu-search/pull/22)
