Did you know?? - Google keeps your search history attached to your gmail account!!

[PremiumG]

I logged in my gmail account, went to google main page, then clicked personalized home at the top right. You will then see search history!!

It's kept track for months!!
I went to options and paused it so it won't do it anymore and deleted my history, but this is so "big brother".

whoa that's awesome!

 

[bobdelt]

oh man... thats crazy. I think its neat.

 

[DieselUV]

yeah i think it's pretty well known, at least i thought so.

 

[DieselUV]

all your "deleted mail" is not truly deleted

 

[j00fek]

[FoBoT]

[amdhunter]

Where, I don't see it???

 

[MX2]

This is nothing compared to a special I watched the other day called Big Brother, Big Business

 

[archcommus]

I don't see it either.

 

[Maximilian]

I didnt see it.

I felt a great disturbance in the Force, as if millions of search histories (keyword: pr0n) never meant to be found cried out in terror and were suddenly silenced...

You have to turn this feature on in your preferences. I didn't see it until I turned it on and off.

 

[alien42]

its been this way for months (if not longer)

Solution:

Not care OR don't use Google.

Personalized search? I clicked on it from the "Try something new" section, which then added it to the "My services" section, but then I paused it because I don't want it, but now it's still in the "My services" section. Oh well.

true. our beloved government forces google (and other web companies) to keep these things so that they can monitor us.

 

[UNCjigga]

Wow, this is great! Now when I sign in to Google on my monitored/logged PC at work, I can find that pr0n site I googled at home and share it with coworkers! AWESOME!!!

 

[drinkmorejava]

yeah, nothing new. When I first saw it I was like ROFL because it had everything from the past two years. Apparently you can delete it though, but I doubt it's actually gone.

 

[AdamK47]

How do the searches get tracked?

 

[mzkhadir]

you can pause it so that it doesn't track it

 

[preslove]

At least they don't release "anonymous" search histories that can be tracked to individual users like AOL did a couple of months back.

Good thing you can pause it.
