Unless I'm missing something, it shouldn't screw up copy and pasting at all. It's done via JS when you click on the link, but the link itself is the original URL. You can set the setting indefinitely on the settings page (http://duckduckgo.com/settings.html http://duckduckgo.com/settings.html). To use the URL params to do so, you can add that param to your search bar settings.

I am using the latest Opera snapshot on Linux. If I rightclick on a link on a result page and copy the link address, I get the redirection link. The parameters are not "transfered" to another DDG page for me. Eg I manually crafted http://duckduckgo.com/?kf=-1&kz=-1&kd=-1&q=hello+world http://duckduckgo.com/?kf=-1&kz=-1&kd=-1&q=hello... which works great but if I now enter "hello epi0Bauqu" at the site and hit Enter I end up at http://duckduckgo.com/?q=hello+epi0Bauqu&v= http://duckduckgo.com/?q=hello+epi0Bauqu&v= I have cookies disabled, referrers too.

  Gotcha, yes, I can confirm. It happens on mousedown so I guess that is triggering before the copy. Let me try and understand the params issue because I think that will fix it for you. So why aren't you creating a custom search in opera with those parameters that you one? Or are you saying that once you do a search and use the search box again, your parameters should be present in that second search? I think you're right that they are not and they should be. I can fix this, but I want to understand exactly what is going on first.

    You rock! Ah, sorry, I thought I explained it good enough, German here. I made a custom search with those parameters. It works fine. But if I then enter a new search term on the website's search box itself, not through my custom search, the parameters are dropped. That also happens if I reach a site where I have to choose the category and then get to a result page for that specific category, for example if I search for "test": http://duckduckgo.com/?kf=-1&kz=-1&kd=-1&q=test http://duckduckgo.com/?kf=-1&kz=-1&kd=-1&q=test Then I have to choose a category, I click on http://duckduckgo.com/Test_(student_assessment) http://duckduckgo.com/Test_(student_assessment) and there the parameters are gone.
