Comment:

 Internet searches are pretty good these days. DuckDuckGo is just answering
 your search the same way they answer every other search. They say they
 don't track people. And Tor Browser's tracking protection is pretty good.

 If you want to confirm this, you can:
 * post a link to the DuckDuckGo search on this ticket, and ask someone
 else for the results
 * close and re-open Tor Browser to clear RAM
 * delete Tor Browser and its settings of your disk, and re-install
 * use Tor Browser from another machine or another location
