It's Google's Custom Search API, designed to increase the usage of Google, not to replace it. Bing Search API allows creating new search engines that don't send user data back to Microsoft. That's why DuckDuckGo is powered by Bing, not Google.

Except that the entire reason most sites are searchable is because of the analytics includes on every single page, everywhere.

So, literally every click you make is trickling data back to Facegoogsoft, because that’s how indexing works.
