Yes, after trying both, I strongly tend to a non-filtered search.
I was about to ask the same question. Personally, after all these months, I'm all for making non-filtered duckduckgo our default:
search_url="http://duckduckgo.com/html?kp=-1&q=%s"
(we can move google somewhere after it).
Of course, then you risk frustrating users who want/expect Google as the default.
I always set the defaults in my software to things the average user would want or expect, even if it differs from my own preferences -- if I want to change it, I can set it in my personal configuration. The way I see it, I'm just a software developer; I'm here to write useful code, not to inflict my way of doing things on the world.
Staying away from the google monster when reasonably possible seems most consistent with the Dillo project's objectives. (To be fair, on one hand, the duckduckgo guy talks, in the context of that project, a lot about privacy and such, but when I've read about what he's been up to in general, he sounds kind of rah-rah-hacker-news-let's-sell- a-start-up-to-a-huge-company-and-be-rich, like he knows the talk to talk.)
