Every time it makes a query to one of the selected search engines it does it as a “new user” so there’s no history for it to track.
edit: that’s also why I host it on a cloud server, just to add that extra layer. Not to say someone determined couldn’t figure out who I am but it stops the passive layers of trying to track.
Your server might query search engines with a clean slate, but the search engine has its own history for your cloud server’s IP address. Cookies aren’t the only thing big tech use to track users.
