Comment (by kromek):

 "I have exactly the opposite in my tor browser: search from URL bar is
 using POST requests, while search from the search box on duckduckgo.com is
 using GET requests."

 Probably because I'm using no JavaScript. With it disabled, URL search
 redirects to HTML version which concatenates the query into URL. If I then
 use the HTML website's search, it now uses POST (the URL is:
 https://duckduckgo.com/html/)
