Switching to DuckDuckGo and Firefox

Is this not default behavior? I've never had an addon installed, but just typing in a query and pressing enter in the URL routes it to Google...

Edit: Ah, I suppose the auto-complete is different.

Also Sometimes for some non URL queries it defaults to what feels like an 'I'm feeling lucky' search.

It doesn't do that anymore, since at least last fall when I switched to Firefox full time. I remember running into this previously -- maybe Fx 3.5 days? -- when I tried to do a unit conversion google search and it would send me to a horrible unit conversion site.

I don't think it does that anymore. I haven't observed it for quite a while.

I can confirm that. I really miss that feature.
