You don't need one to perform a search.

And also, no I don't. I also don't have an Apple, Microsoft, Amazon, or other FAANG account.

I'll never understand why privacy minded people (i assume you are, given your aversion to accounts) also seem commonly dependent on supporting the Ad empires which are primarily responsible for the privacy issues of today.

Eg, you should be supporting search engines that respect privacy and offer clear incentives (read: services you pay for) not using Ad dependent services like Google. No?
