## When to prefer this

Choose this endpoint when privacy is a priority and you want web search results without Google tracking, ad personalization, or filter bubbles. Ideal for agents handling sensitive queries, research tasks where unbiased results matter, or deployments where user privacy must be maintained. Prefer over Google Search API wrappers when anonymity and non-tracking are requirements.
