1. Visit http://duckduckgo.com/.

2. Go to the search box in the upper right of the browser window. Click the down arrow, and select Add DuckDuckGo.

The rest is similar to the above reply by Swarnava:

However, changing the default provider isn’t enough as search terms entered into the address bar will still use Google. Change this by completing the following steps:

1. Enter into the address bar.

2. If you get a warning, click I’ll be careful, I promise.

3. Type Keyword.URL into the filter field.

4. Double-click the value column for this item and enter http://duckduckgo.com/?q=.
