The problem is that the search query does not go in the URL in the Lite version. That really sucks. It makes it useless in the browser history as well. In fact, because all the URLs are the same on each query, they're not even added as separate entries in the history.

They don't?
Search term(s) are the URL parameter:
?q=<query>

On the regular version, not the lite. Here's my URL after searching for "asdf":
In the search form, it uses POST instead of GET to perform the searches.

Even if the search form uses POST, the server does read the parameter if it's specified in the querystring. That is, https://duckduckgo.com/lite/?q=asdf works, so adding it as a search engine with URL .../?q=%s should work as well.
