#33878: Make URL DuckDuckGo search use POST method

Currently if you search DDG using the URL bar, it stores the query in the
URL. In the resulting results page however, if you search directly with
their search bar, it now uses the more secure POST method. I believe
browser's built-in engine should also use the POST method for enhanced
security and, theoretically, higher resistance to behavior analysis by DDG
or other engines.
