When you search for any query in a web search engine, that specific query gets recorded on the server and becomes a part of your online search history. Most common and popular search engines record those keywords and create a behaviour pattern for your browsing profile. And it is then used to push ads to you via the browser and other devices connected to the same profile.
Hence, it’s important for you to know how to keep yourself protected and anonymous. If you use Linux, you can choose any privacy focussed Linux distribution, such as Tails. On top of that, you can stay private using the following search engines.
Due to obvious reasons, this list doesn’t have Google or Bing since they are prevalent in making your habit as a product by creating a shadow profile.
What about the browsers and incognito mode? Are they not making you private? Well, no. Even if you use incognito mode and Google or other search engines, your data and movement can still be tracked. However, if you use a VPN, then you should be good.
