Description Sebastian Keller 2013-10-02 12:53:32 UTC 
Using http://duckduckgo.com/?q=%s&t=epiphany just causes a clear text http request to be sent over the network that results in a redirect to https://duckduckgo.com/?q=%s&t=epiphany.

So using https directly removes one roundtrip and improves privacy/security.
