If you are on a desktop, you can run it locally, you are much less likely to be rate limited, but this comes at cost of your ip being still visible to google or whatever search engine you choose to scrape from
IP addresses are not some super-secret PII. You don’t have to try to hide it unless you don’t want to reveal the country you’re in. You can also proxy SearXNG through tor. Though Google wouldn’t work then, and of course search time increases as well.
It’s your queries + your IP combined with the rest of the data the net collects from you that identifies you.
