Or how 'bout searching things that don't look really bad when viewed by others in a long list.
Really simple idea just kinda dumb if you want to hide your trail just search though a proxy on your website.

It's not just that. Say you are searching for a patent and Google suddenly saw the briliant idea. Good luck crying when Google steals that idea first.

Just installed it. Not that I search for anything particularly bad but I'm not too keen on my searches being logged. I know Google is big on the targeted ads and all, but I don't need recommended searches and stuff, so this is nice for me.
