the URL. In the resulting results page however, if you search directly

using POST requests, while search from the search box on duckduckgo.com is
using GET requests.
Tor Browser only has control over the initial query, but the behavior
boklm describes is consistent with how Tor Browser should send DDG search
queries: Tor Browser should send the query in a POST request, already.
