I suspect searches are remembered when you do them signed in to your Google account. Question is have you ever signed out from your account from 2007 till today? Edit: I saw some documentary on TV about information collected by internet companies, and there was great example of collected information used for not original purposes. At the beginning of XX century Dutch government started to collect database on population, and among other things they collected the religious affiliation in order to know the right funeral procedure for alone died people and such stuff. All was fine until came fascists, took database and started to fetch Jews.
Damn thanks! There is a easier way. Log into google or gmail account, goto the URL as linked in the first post, click on the SPROCKET ICON for a drop down menu and click REMOVE settings. It will ask if you want to remove a day, week , month etc... click on beginning of time! Then never use google to search anything again unless via proxy. I personally use DuckDuckGo!
I noticed that years ago myself. It was interesting to read my searches from 2004,etc. lol. I wish I could replace google search entirely but they're too good at what they do.
Turned mine off the moment I got a google account (my first android phone). Don't get me wrong, I don't think google doesn't know about my searches, but I don't have to make it extra easy for them...
