    why google and other search engines use GET parameters to pass keywords in their URL, when it is possible to track those information into server logs.

    GET is good for them as it gives the users a chance to save the search url so they can go to it directly in the future if they need

    because use GET is most compatible way for all browsers and platforms.

    It's not dangerous with IP, server side session and client side cookie

    Why not? Google and other SE will use simple commands for faster response and process time which are essential in providing information and results.
