Will this allow kagi to be used on the forced search widget at the bottom of the screen of pixel phones ?

Because the blog mention that Google will be forced to propose kagi in the default search engine list given 5k installs, but even with it installed I cannot set kagi as my search engine on that widget.

On the contrary if I install duckduckgo or bing, I can choose one of them to replace Google in that widget.

EDIT: android itself talks about the 5k limit for the "choice screen" during initial setup [0], but there is no mention of how the list is populated afterwards

I understand that currently the app does not replace it, but once Kagi has more than 5000 Android installs and we submit a request to be included in choice screen, and given that privilege it would do.
