This very article spends several paragraphs describing its use of the open source privacy pass to enable anonymous authentication, including making searches even while logged out. You could pair this with a vpn and they won't know your real ip or who the account belongs to, only that someone with an account is making the search.

Searching in private mode on Google is a reasonable way to remove local traces of your search (for shared devices, for example). The idea that Google can't associate the activity with your account from the mountain of other information they have besides just your login cookie is naive.
