I kinda think I want it to try. I make little effort to hide my location or identity, and I think I'd like to see the results.
...just without saying who I am before I get those results. And my desire to stay anonymous-ish and not give it a chance to cheat means I can't satisfy I have the right to the identify of myself if it finds who I am.
Quite seriously, I cannot prove I have the right to make it search for me, for myself, without giving it too much information or without risking the leak of private info to a so-far unidentified stranger if it finds anything.
Catch-22
