Low GoogleSearch not grabbing user IP address - grabs server IP instead.
Low GoogleSearch sends GSA the server IP address that website is hosted on instead of the IP of the actual user performing the search. This is revealed looking at the GSA search logs/reports. Everyone is coming from one IP which is the IP of the server our website is hosted on. Any fix?

I'm not sure. The web server actually initiates the call to the GSA, triggered by the user. But the call originates from the server itself.
From what I can tell from the docs, there isn't a way to send the actual user's IP address instead. It might be that the GSA gets the IP from the request itself, which means it will be hard, if not impossible, to change.
I will look into it a bit more, and report back if I find something else.
