 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.
