Does that mean it searches private info? Or does it mean that nobody uses it? Maybe it means that the searches are anonymized?

The last. It basically acts as a proxy: You type in your query, and IxQuick (aka startpage.com) queries Google on your behalf, thereby shielding you from the associated analytics and tracking. It also claims to not store the IP address associated with an individual query.

From their site:
-You have a right to privacy.
-Your search data should never fall into the wrong hands.
-The only real solution is quickly deleting your data or not storing them to begin with.
-Since January 2009 we do not record our users' IP addresses anymore.
-Your personal data are not shared with any third party.
-We are the first and only search engine to do so.
-Since then we have added many other features that protect your privacy.
-Our initiative is receiving an overwhelmingly positive response!
