Here's the extension you're looking for:
It's called Disable ClickTracker by Pedro Campelo Cavalcanti.
"Disable ClickTracker" removes click tracking on the initial page load. It will not work for people using Google Instant Search.
The only extension that handles both regular and Google Instant results is the new gDirectLinks.
Safari maintains this information internally, but I've only been able to make it divulge the actual URL by enabling the web inspector (Option-Command-I) after you have enabled the Debug menu at the bottom of the advanced tab in Safari Preferences (Command-,). You can of course drag the URL out of the search window to get a link (instead of copying which just copies the visible search terms).
You will see the Full URL under the Location disclosure in the bottom right corner of your screen. The only good part of this is the text is copyable once you've navigated and selected it. It might be possible to write a Safari extension to perform this copy, but I have not found one to do this yet.
As provided by Arjan you can also make a bookmark and use JavaScript to retrieve the URL.
javascript:(function(){window.location.href=window.location.href.replace("search?", "#");})()
You might also be interested in gDirectLinks or it's more fully fledged sibling LinkThing which change the way Safari renders google search terms and works with URL handling from google.

You might find this Stack Exchange Answer provides a solution:
There are two places to select the search engine. Setting the search engine from Safari's URL bar overrides whatever's set in Safari > Preferences > Search. My Safari had Google set from the URL bar, and whatever I set in Safari Preferences was immediately reverted to Google.
To reset the default search engine in Safari's URL bar, click on the magnifying glass icon, which appears at the left side of the URL bar when no page is displayed. A dropdown appears. Then select which engine you'd choose. Luckily, I was content with DDG, one of the only four choices presented.
