With their privacy focus, does that mean they don't track and keep a list of database queries being made? I'm quite curious to what people may be searching at DDG vs. say Google - it certainly feels like there'd be important societal insights possible with that data. If they do compile it, do they publish this data anywhere?

We use aggregate, non-personal search data to improve things like misspellings. It's not clear how long they keep these searches.
