It should be on one of those google conspiracy pages if you look it up. If you go onto Anonymouse.com and then to google, you can avoid it. But, the very first time you use google without being anonymous, you're stuck with it.
What Search Engine Do You Use?

Google of course. I'd like to start using a lower profile one however, because I am aware of Google's evil plot to rule the world.xXAsherahXx said:
Doesn't change the fact that Google catalogs all your searches & much [much] more on their end.yamitami said:
...... And? Gathering that kind of information is how a company knows what they need to fix or expand upon. Grocery stores keep track of what people buy the most so they know what they have to order all the time. Computer companies keep track of what laptops people buy so they know what is liked and thus what features to put into the new laptop.RobfromtheGulag said:
I will never understand why it's considered evil if a company keeps track of what its customers like or do most often since that's the only way they can know how to improve their service.
Google. They have a Chuck Norris joke if you type the right thing and choose "I'm Feeling Lucky." My mom showed me that. Plus Google's always been good to me.
Google, because I don't feel like changing my instinct. It's just been too many years to change what I use now.
Google, because it's awesome. Seriously, if you're only using Bing because you don't want to support the tyrant that is Google, you're really not doing it properly - Bing is owned by Microsoft... you may have heard of them.
That's only A reason. I use it primarily because I can get to things I want to know faster, plus when I'm searching for pictures, I'm not as confined because Google deems it pornographic or something (no I don't roll like that).SonicKoala said:
If the grocery takes stock of which foods are purchased that's supply and demand. The premise of Google's earlier search engines was to return search results based on which pages received the most hits off search terms. But them moving to profiling me has too many negative connotations.yamitami said:
Google's earlier search engine -- Grocery analyzing which products are purchased.
Google's current search engine -- Grocery analyzing which products each particular customer purchases.
So wait, you like Bing because it gets you to porn faster?xXAsherahXx said:
Well, you'll get no argument from me there - that's a pretty awesome reason
Aren't you mister "I like to twist things around"...but if I met someone that I would support them for wanting to see naked ladies. Seriously though, I don't roll that way.SonicKoala said:So wait, you like Bing because it gets you to porn faster?xXAsherahXx said:

But then wouldn't that help Google to make each individual customer's experience more positive? As opposed to having to make generalizations over what people prefer, they can get far more specific, thus making everybody happy. Seriously, unless you're searching for child pornography on a regular basis, what does it matter if a company knows what websites you frequent?RobfromtheGulag said:
Its not actually google that made that page though.AbsoluteVirtue18 said:
When you click im feeling lucky when searching 'google chuck norris' it just directs you to the most relevant page.
