As it says also in your quote, they just don’t share IP and search term together. More detailed description from https://www.ecosia.org/privacy under “What data do you share with search results providers?”.
For example, when searching for “tree” on Ecosia we forward the following information to our partner, Bing: IP address (to a separate fraud detection server, so your search term and IP address are never sent to the same server), meta-data on your device that is necessary for the result like screen size, search term, and some settings like your country and language setting.
Yeah, just got there as I am doing things in the meantime.
Would the IP address and search results be able to be put back together? Wouldn’t a lot of IP Adresses be sent at the same time reducing the possibility of linking an ip address to a search result?

so the ip and the search are still both sent to microsoft?
just because they aren’t sent to the ‘same server’ doesn’t mean that microsoft can’t reassemble the data.
