Most likely nothing.
At least it is not an officially documented URL parameter

So Firefox thinks it already has that search engine and thus shows no option.

Ideally they should serve it under some different name and this should become easier for everyone.

Also filed https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=2043838 though.

Although this feature has been around aeons as far as I can remember.

I notice that in your screenshot, there is not a focus outline on the input field, and no text input context items have appeared. Are you right clicking on the text input, or the page itself?

Trying to add noai DDG like that has not worked for me in any Firefox or Firefox fork since months. (btw Can be added easily in Tor and Mullvad browser from the search engine part of the browser settings, and LibreWolf people suggested they would be open to do the same).
