Change default search engine for native Small Browser (Lollipop)

It doesn't seem possible to change the default search engine for the Small Browser.  I'd like to change it from the current, Google, to DuckDuckGo or similar.  Anyone know how?

FYI: the "Small Browser" is the one reached by tapping the Application Switcher button and choosing the browser available by default in the Small Apps list at the foot of the screen.

Hi,

Thanks.  That did it.  I'm disappointed to find there's only Google, Bing and Yahoo as options.

The issue was 75% down to Sony hiding the Settings option lower down in the menu by default, yet not offering any visual clue in the menu itself that the menu is, in fact, scrollable.  The other 25% of the issue was my not simply attempting to scroll anyway.
