i figured they kept them like a little while but was watching a doc on how places know about you and it said google was one of the companies that never deletes the searches people make.. i dont know about you but that is disturbing to me in so many ways lol.. im one that looks up oddball stuff for one.. 2. what if you looked up arsenic and then a person you die happens to die from that and they think to look into you? would that mean your on the suspect list?? i would be ok if they kept them a couple of months but not forever.. how do you feel on this?

i think it is a bit disturbing to. just the thought that they have everything youve ever searched from a recipe to far out odd ball things is a little bothersom. it just feels like a invasion of my privacy

Yes they keep all the searches forever because they see which are the most commonly found searches and they try to get the best of the best at the start of the list. However i would like to agree with you. Doing that is indeed a tedious work and demands a lot of time and patience of which i have neither!

This is interesting peice of information. Did it say why they never delete your searches? aghh that can't be used against if there are a lot of people using your pc! But this is very disturbing somehow!
