I could probably remove this in my account settings somewhere right? But the point is that it’s a bad feature. It’s not reliably accurate. It makes stuff up.

Nope, you can’t disable it at all, this is the only workaround that currently gets rid of their crap.

Or you could use a different search engine.

I’m using kagi on and off, but haven’t reached the point where I’m confident that paid search is the answer. Especially since that ties results to accounts even in privat mode, so they can claim no log policies as much as they want, I don’t trust it.
DDG doesn’t deliver the same quality as google, bing is garbage for anything but porn, and Yandex works surprisingly well, but whether I want my data in Russia is another story. In private mode I use it occasionally.

That’s not what private mode is for…? Private mode is for local privacy, like hiding your porn searches from anybody else who uses the same device. It won’t help at all for stopping external data collection - you want a VPN for that.
