[emacs-w3m:13636] [emacs-w3m/emacs-w3m] w3m-search - does not work with DuckDuckGo (DuckDuckGo Lite) (#78)

It used to work in DuckDuckGo with the following code in my dot-emacs:

    (require 'w3m-search)
    (setq w3m-search-default-engine "DuckDuck Go")
    (add-to-list 'w3m-search-engine-alist
      	'("DuckDuck Go" "https://duckduckgo.com/?q=%s"))

    (global-set-key (kbd "M-g M-w") 'w3m-search)

    (defadvice w3m-search (after change-default activate)
          (let ((engine (nth 1 minibuffer-history)))
      (when (assoc engine w3m-search-engine-alist)
        (setq w3m-search-default-engine engine))))

But recently DuckDuckGo redirect the search to `https://lite.duckduckgo.com/lite/` and the GET method does not work anymore:
The (correct) search result page of `https://lite.duckduckgo.com/lite/` contains no search string and its form use the POST method instead.

With a search string attached at the end of the URL, e.g. searching for 'emacsclient' with my code posted above (`https://lite.duckduckgo.com/lite/?q=emacsclient`) links of the search results become malformed, e.g. link to emacswiki's Emacsclient page will become
`https://lite.duckduckgo.com/l/?kh=-1&uddg=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.emacswiki.org%2Femacs%2FEmacsClient` instead of `https://www.emacswiki.org/emacs/EmacsClient`

Is it a bug in w3m-search or is there something w3m-search can do to make it work again?
