Google User Search History List
September 3, 2006 · Filed Under Sci and Tech
I was serching the internet and stumble upon this unique feature by Google. Its called Google Search History. Its so scary that Google has this list of keywords and URL you’ve visited. I know Google promise not to release it to the public or government, but what if someone install a trojan horse and obtain my password, my information would fall into the wrong hands. I hate to say this, but why would Google want keep a history of our search.

September 3rd, 2006It’s actully quite cool what they do with it. They customise the search to suit you. If you’re logged in and you search for something you’ll get a bunch of results including the ones on the right that are sponsored (i.e. paid for space for special offers). Next time you search those keywords your search may be customised to you according to what you clicked on last time. I’m not sure what the intricacies of this are but it’s really about making Google your own and making it fit you. There are many people that are concerned about the privacy issues. Hacking could be a problem, previously I haven’t seen your own search history available even when you’re logged in.
