What do you mean no tracking since you own your own server? If you use it alone, there is a straightforward correlation between the requests from your searxng instance and you, the dude who hosts it. The idea of searxng is that requests of many people become mixed together through an instance
Yes, but no identification to tie that to. Sure they know the things some individual happens to search for, but they don’t have my google login or advertising ID or Facebook token or any other tracking tokens to link those requests to my identity outside of that silo of the IP address, and that changes as it’s sent over an anonymizing proxy. It’s not perfect and if they really tried they could probably track it down, but it’s rare enough and enough obfuscation that I doubt they’d care enough to do it.
