Direct search does not use default search engine

I noticed that the direct search (CTRL+space) does use Google for searching while I set DuckDuckGo as my default search engine in the settings. Can somebody explain how to set DuckDuckGo as the default search engine for the direct search.

Thanks in advance.

@operausert If you mean Instant Search, it uses the same engine of the start page search and it can't be changed.
You can, however, use a keyword to trigger a search with a different search engine.

@leocg Thank you for your answer, I indeed meant Instant Search. Maybe a suggestion for the future to change the default search engine for the entire browser.
