If you (and they) only care about IP tracking by Google, you can simply
point them to Startpage. Startpage hides all your searches from Google.

However, your ISP sees all the websites you visit and advertisers place
trackers on individual websites that report traffic to their databases,
so your search terms are just the tip of the huge web tracking iceberg.

It's almost impossible to defeat internet tracking, unless you use TOR.
