No problem. You can use bug-hyperbole@gnu.org for bug reports but any report is 
fine.

You should be able to separately setup what browse function to use for the web 
searches by setting 'hyperbole-web-search-browser-function' to ‘eww-browse-url’.

It is supposed to be customizable but it looks like there is something wrong 
there as it is setup to be customized as a boolean(!?) value. Don't know why 
and would have to look into that. But just setting it directly should work for 
you for now.

    (setq hyperbole-web-search-browser-function #'eww-browse-url)
