The default browser or the browser search engine? DuckDuckGo is a search engine. Have you try going to Settings/Safari/Search Engine and see if you can reset the search engine there? Tap on the one you want.

If Eric’s advice doesn’t help, and you have the DuckDuckGo browser installed, please check:

Safari is not a search engine. While it can be selected as your default browser, it has never been an option for your search engine.
