Missing page-break character here?
If you're using Emacs you can insert one with C-q C-l.

I prefer this field to be named 'package' instead, to make it less prone
to confusion. The accessor, whoogle-configuration-package, should be exported
as well.

In general, you may prefer to use match-record instead of using accessors
as it results in much less code to type.

Is (default-environment-variables) necessary?

You can use match-record here or use the accessor here instead.
(e.g., (compose list whoogle-configuration-package))


Could you add a system test for this service as well?
It makes things easier to check and maintain.
