with search pages.  Something like default vs. non-default or opt-in vs. opt-out
would describe it better.

I don't think "default policy-implementing resolver" makes any sense. While "opt-in policy-implementing resolver" does make sense, "opt-out policy-implementing resolver" does not. I'm not as concerned about the rathole as you are, but I certainly don't want to use terms that make no sense.

I meant default as in it's the one configured by default for a provider's users, e.g., by DHCP.

The ISPs I know of that have policy resolvers to rewrite NXDOMAIN configure them by default, but provide some way for users to opt out so they get the real result instead. I don't particularly care what the wording is so long as it describes what actually happens rather than how we think the users ought to feel.
