Comment (by cypherpunks):

 Oh right I only understood the issue now, it's not about providing search
 suggestions but it would go to the DuckDuckGo search engine directly. Nice
 catch! (BTW it happened for me sometimes when selecting some links and
 taking them to a new tab, a DDG search would happen despite the URL having
 `https://`)
