That is basically how website visitors get tracked. The visitors execute some html or javascript in their web browsers that passes a request to another server with some identifying information so the visitor can be associated with the web site. That other server sees the external IP address of that visitor. In this case, the javascript is built dynamically when the search criteria is analyzed. If the visitor has cookies enabled, then he/she can be tracked across other Tor servers if he/she has a different IP address, like through a VPN.
Nice promo for JanusVM though, and it didn't cost you a cent.
