FTA: In Yosemite, all Safari web searches are sent to not only the search engine you've selected (e.g., Google, DuckDuckGo), but also to Apple, even if you've disabled "Spotlight Suggestions"
It's because the author is completely wrong.

Disable the Smart Search features in Safari and it won't send anything to Apple.
