duckduckgo

Why can I not install duckduckgo as the default search engine in the AVG browser. I have seen the previous answer from tech support to just edit and existing entry e.g. Yahoo but this does not work because the first two fields are editable but the this with the URL string in is not. So even if I say go to duckduckgo.com the URL is still looking at Yahoo?

Hello John.
Thank you for contacting AVG Community Support. 
You can set specified serach engine for AVG Secure Browser. You can set it for address bar when you browse.

To define which search engine is used in your address bar:

Open AVG Secure Browser and go to ⋮ Menu (three dots) ▸ Settings.
Scroll to the Search engine section, and use the drop-down menu to select your preferred search engine. (Google (or) Yahoo (or) Bing.) (or) You can add the url of the search engine.

If you have any clarification, please do let us know.

YOU CAN"T add or edit the URL.  This is the problem.
