No matter what site you are using, your search is tracked and stored and is not totally confidential ( in the way you assume). To evidence this briefly , if you perform a paid search on 192.com your search is logged and your details are provided to any person who registers to be informed of a search upon them ( adoptee etc) and they can then email you directly to challenge you upon why you have made such a search.
All the major sites track you as a paid user and if you believe your search is totally confidential then I have a very old car for sale that I would like a premium price for.
