   What DDG search bar?? I have DDG set up as my preferred Search Agent   
   (Edit -> Preferences -> Browser -> Internet Search -> Default Search   
   Engine) so, whenever I enter a topic I want to find out about in my SM   
   address bar and hit Enter, away SM goes and presents me with a group of   
   websites that fit  my topic.
