Summary0002803: Add DuckDuckGo Search button on welcome.html page
DescriptionThe Search button on the Welcome to NetSurf page is quite handy, but it defaults to Google, whom I try to avoid these days,
Can we either have DuckDuckGo as well, (and other search engines too, if you like) or a means to set and retain the default Search engine according to user preference?

Every time I download a new NetSurf build (which I do quite a lot) it reverts to Google Search until I re-tweak the HTML.
Steps To Reproducefile:///NetSurf:/Resources/en/welcome.html is where I'm talking about
