Search Engines are inherently problematic for privacy because you need to send the plaintext query/content to a third-party for it to be processed and return results. You can mitigate some of the metadata and fingerprinting problems (non-captcha’d Tor/VPN usage, JavaScript-free support, proxying etc.) but you cannot get around the original problem.",
