Duck duck go protects you from this, correct?
Why would anyone use Google after this precedent?
In addition to being based in the US, DDG has had some issues with allowing Microsoft tracking on their DDG Browser. Their search does not have the same issues, but it might be wise to use TorBrowser to search anything you'd rather not explain in front of a judge.
And remember there's a Duck Duck Go onion service: https://duckduckgogg42xjoc72x3sjasowoarfbgcmvfimaftt6twagswzczad.onion Proof: search on duckduckgo for "duckduckgo onion" and a widget appears in the search results.
Alternatively, set your tor browser to always prioritize onion addresses in the settings.
