[netsurf-users] DuckDuckGo as default search engine

Now that "google no longer operates at all without extensive
javascript support" Netsurf 6789 attempts to change the default search
engine to DuckDuckGo, as embedded in the welcome page.

https://ci.netsurf-browser.org/jenkins/job/netsurf/6789/changes

It doesn't quite work here. A search errors with, "Error occurred
fetching page", and this in the URL bar :-

about:websearch?q=elephant

Specifying https://html.duckduckgo.com/html explicitly in
welcome.html, rather than about:websearch does allow the search to
work.
