Google will track your IP and probably store the searches you made alongside it. These can easily be linked back to your google accounts.

Duckduckgo claim not to log your searches.



Yes but how much is a claim worth? Anything centralized is at risk to be tracked by the government. It's not as if Google put in the TOS that the NSA is monitoring their data.


I wonder if there is a decentralized P2P crawler system that shares IP addresses of at least major domains/hosts.

With that you could run a node and search locally against your machine without anybody knowing.
