Comment:

 Hm, I am not sure anymore why I removed the `html` part from DDG in
 #19898, maybe mcs/brade have some memory about that? But my patch is
 adding it back again as it solves this bug (see `bug_27507`
 (https://gitweb.torproject.org/user/gk/torbutton.git/commit/?h=bug_27507&id=ea6f3ec3ec41a953827e103a0f68f3d2d4fc237a)
 in my public Torbutton repo). Moreover, it solves the issue that a user on
 #tor had today, that just hitting the arrow in the search bar without
 entering any search term would get a white DDG page (which is arguably a
 DDG bug).
