Search keystrokes forwarded to undisclosed suggestion API on every engine

A react-autosuggest component fires this lookup after two keystrokes, regardless of engine.
Not disclosed in the listing.
You type a search query into the new-tab search box.
After two characters are entered, an autocomplete lookup is triggered on every additional keystroke.
The extension sends your in-progress search query to suggest.finditnowonline.com.
This occurs regardless of which search engine you have selected in the new-tab settings (Google, Bing, Yahoo, or DuckDuckGo).
