Google, the owner of the largest ad network in the world, does not make money from your searches? Are you trolling or completely misinformed?

I think they are being pedantic. The point they are making is that Google does not sell your search data directly, rather it sells ads that are optimized thanks to your search data.

IMO it's a moot point.

Google indeed does not sell your search history to third parties. They make money by letting third parties target ads to you with it.
