Bug Description

DDG referral income is basically non-existent and the results are anecdotally worse. We should switch the default engine back to Google.

Due privacy concerns, I recommend startpage.com/eng. Same idea as DDG but uses Google-Search instead of the creepy Bing-service:
-No IP address recorded.
-No record is made of your searches.
-No identifying or tracking cookies used.
-Powerful SSL encryption available
