There were studies where it took as little as 10 searches to find out your exact identity. If you pay per month, month's worth of searches is more than enough to de-anonymize you. Ideal solution would involve pay-per-search.

That's surprising given how I assume the pareto principle applies to search terms.
>Ideal solution would involve pay-per-search.
I guess if you're really hardcore and are willing to trigger a transaction per search.
But in reality it doesn't work becsuse there's a small transaction fee for every charge. So it's really hard to charge below a dollar without major penalties. You can get around that with a token system, but we go right back to square one. I guess that's one problem crypto mitigates.
