your searches are not private though, since one they're decrypted on searchencrypt.com, they're logged as per chinese government reporting laws.

Private is a BS term, can mean just about anything. If it's private from the US gov but not China, that might be "private" enough for some, obviously not for others. But it's also nowhere near certain your assumption is true.

OTOH, otherwise it's the five eyes and NSA logging them. Both alternatives are really, really bad in my opinion.
