I hear people frequently say this.

Searx is basically a proxy. If you had an actual proxy.. you would achieve the exact same benefits. Its good for making it difficult.. or extremely difficult to tie a person's real identity, directly to their search query.
Another thing that searx does is sends your query to google. This is not good for privacy. But sometimes it gives you additional results.
