Comment:

 Right now if I enter a search term into Disconnects search results, and
 choose DuckDuckGo, and press enter, I see the following message:

 > Just a heads-up, because DuckDuckGo takes user privacy seriously, search
 queries go directly to them, unlike other search engines which are proxied
 through Disconnect

 Then the browser is redirected to the DuckDuckGo site to show the search
 results. So I think Option (3) from this ticket's description doesn't have
 any advantage over Option (2). It looks to me like a choice between (1)
 and (2), at least until Disconnect can get access to Google again.
