They don't?

Search term(s) are the URL parameter:

   ?q=<query>
Which does show in my history AFAICT.

On the regular version, not the lite. Here's my URL after searching for "asdf":

https://duckduckgo.com/lite/

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.

That's nice I guess. Still a shame the text input can't be used without forgoing the history.
