Thank you for this suggestion.
The rationale behind choosing Startpage over DuckDuckGo two years ago,
both for the Tor Browser and for Tails, can be found there:
https://trac.torproject.org/projects/tor/ticket/4902
I see no compelling reason to change this in Tails right now. Also,
I find it useful that Tails uses the same default search engine as the
Tor Browser, so a change would need to be argued on both sides.
Cheers,
