Here is a way to add DuckDuckGo Search to Overview mode. Create a new textfile (I attached it): /usr/share/gnome-shell/search_providers/duckduckgo.xml This file uses the HTTPS version and includes the 'Trisquel' reference when searching.
Then press ALT+F2, type 'r' and press enter (always do this procedure when you change something). It will restart GNOME Shell. Now when you type something in Overview mode you have the option of searching it at DuckDuckGo. I also removed Google and Wikipedia because I can search there with DDG's bang syntax if I want to. You can either delete "google.xml" and "wikipedia.xml" in the same folder, or you can execute: gsettings set org.gnome.shell disabled-open-search-providers "['google.xml', 'wikipedia.xml']" which will disable those two. By default the search engines are sorted in a strange way, so you can modify the sorting Javascript by using this code: http://askubuntu.com/questions/89842/is-it-possible-to-re-arrange-the-search-providers-on-the-gnome-shell-activities/124160#124160 I tried it and it works, but I decided to remove it because I will only have DuckDuckGo there.
