Of course it is still a loss for Google when everyone goes through proxies and meta-engines. Tracking what everyone is searching on is far less useful than searching the patterns of individual users. That isn't to be taken as "tracking what YOU search for" but "tracking what else people who like dogs search for". Patterns are important, and when we all go through the same IPs (with meta-searchers and proxies) our searches get lumped together. Nothing is free, you pay for google with your tracking data and your eyes looking at advertisements. Pay up for what you use!
