I don't think Tor Project is going to make DDG or Ixquick the default 
search engine any more than Mozilla.org is.

As you know, users can easily change their default search engine in 
Aurora (or Firefox) through "manage search engines."  Can also add 
others or delete some included by default.  For any users that don't 
know how, there are tons of pages w/ detailed instructions (it's very 
easy).  Just search for "add [or delete] search engine +Firefox"
