Probably stupid question: let's say I selfhost searxng only for myself: google & Co can track all my searches, but doesn't they pair all the data to the IP of my server? And because of this, they will not be able to show personalized ads to me, using my laptop. Is this wrong?
If the public IP is same, they can serve the same ads.
And what if the server has a static IP address?
Doesn't matter. They can still serve you ads.
How is this possible? I mean, how can they connect the searches from the ip of the server with your laptop's ip?
If the public IP is same, they will only see that.
They only see your public IP address (ie your router), so all devices on the private side will appear to be the same source.
So, if your laptop and your server (and anyone else at the same location) are connected to the internet via the same router, then, you're the same source.
