SolydXK - Where is my Google Search Engine

SolydXK is shipped with DuckDuckGo as the default search engine in Firefox Web Browser.

According to Wikipedia, DuckDuckGo is an Internet search engine that uses information from crowdsourced websites such as Wikipedia to obtain its results. The search engine policy says that it protects privacy, and does not record user information.^[1] Because users are not profiled, the "filter bubble" can be avoided, with all users being shown the same search results for a given search term.

If you had been using Windows for a long time, you would be more familiar with Google Search Engine.
