@lexfeathers @vaporeon_ @IntrepidVector you can set it up as a custom search engine and then select it by default, that way all searches go to noai search. Even those from the address bar.
Instructions below for FireFox and forks thereof.

@callisto@disabled.social @harald@mementomori.social @darwinwoodka@mastodon.social @ottaross@mastodon.social You need to go to Settings - Search. Then at the bottom you have "search shortcuts", there you can click "Add" to add a new one. Name it "NoAI DDG" or whatever and paste https://noai.duckduckgo.com/%s In the URL field. (Right-click copy that since Mastodon sometimes hides the https part) Then you can go to the top where it says "Default search engine" and select the new one you just created. It's a bit different in the mobile version but similar enough.
