Google Your Search History!

Google Inc., yesterday announced the beta release of it's new search feature called 'My Search History', which can store a user's Google queries, along with the results.

The new search history tool also stores browsing behavior and tracks it over time, thereby personalizing the search results. With this, Google is building up a backlog of searches that a user has made. Once the history has been started, Google begins to analyze the trends, and cluster the searches into groups or categories. Once a new search is made, the user is also displayed a history of similar searches, plus Google’s suggestions for the most relevant of search results.

As users perform new searches, over time, their previous search results will be personalized to match the new query, and served up adjacent to new results. The service is avilable for free but requires users to be signed-in to their Google accounts.

"How many times have you used Google to find an obscure funny website or fun facts about 'The Wizard of Oz' but then got distracted by other web pages and tasks? I know - me too. Wouldn't it be great to find them again, and for that matter review all your Google searches over time? Which is exactly why we built My Search History," said Avni Shah, a member of the My Search History team, on the Googleblog.
