Amy,
If you go to Options - Customise 8.13 then you can turn on other Hint
options. There are 4. My Heritage, FindMyPast, Genealogy Bank and
FamilySearch.
FamilySearch hints work differently. They are not searching their
databases but the FamilySearch tree only for those people for whom
you've entered the FamilySearch ID (or the Legacy FamilySearch module
has entered it for you when you confirm people are a match). And then
only if FS has hinted to the FS tree.
My Heritage shows the Hints differently. On the left is your information
that was passed to them to do the search. That's all they use it for. On
the right are Record Matches and Smart Matches if you've left Smart
Matches to trees on.
At Options - Customise 8.13 under MyHeritage are two links. Read them.
They're mainly about privacy for the living and the way Smart Matches
work in only showing what you already know for the living so you can
connect with other people who have those living in their trees. Note you
can turn off the option to search for Hints for the Living.
Amy there are a lot of genealogists in the world and a lot of
information in the public sphere. Information doesn't have to have come
from you or even a very close relative but once you've given information
to other people, they well may have put it into an online tree.

Does Legacy only search My Heritage? Where does it get the info from
other trees. Seems if I click on the search thing to go to My
Heritage, it comes up with Hints but they always seem to have the same
info as in my tree which I do not have published but have givien a few
people. Other sites are listed but I can't click on them.
