+## Privacy
+
+To avoid storing your nimcoon searches in `zsh` history, run this command
+
+```sh
+setopt histignorespace
+```
+
+Then, add a space before typing nimcoon in the shell, like " nimcoon"
+
+```sh
+ nimcoon "this is private"
+```
+
+The same can be achieved in `bash` by setting an environment variable
+```sh
+export HISTCONTROL=ignoreboth
+```
