With the DDG search window on an extension bar on the left, I kept clicking into the top-right search window, using one of the baked-in search engines. I've been through two cycles of attempting to address this.

The first was to change all of the 'left's to 'right's in duckduckgo.html. It made things better.

The second is to look through the 'Blocker' sample code, guess whether a page which is about to load is a toolbar-driven search, and modify it into a DDG search.

The remaining problems are:
- I don't have a web-site, so I can't produce a sensible bundle identifier
- someone who decided that the toolbar search window was an essential security function could argue that this code was a TOS violation
- ideally, there would be a warning, injected into the DDG search results, that this search was diverted from the other engine, but this is beyond my current level of js experience

I will attempt to attach what I've come up with.
