I stumbled upon this today. I have not read anything about it so it may be one of those Google launches that affects certain users. Also to note it only appears in my Firefox browser.

It tracks your search history and saves the links you have clicked on according to the query used. It’s a great feature addition. You can filter by Web, Images, News, Froogle, Video, Music. You can also star items which adds them to your Google Bookmarks account (which I don’t use). The service also keeps track of your own personal trends, ie what you search for the most and “other interesting tidbits” (from google).

If you have access to this feature and are currently logged into your Google account, click here to view your search history.

Or, look up in the top right of your Google screen where your account functionality is and you will see a link called ‘Search History’.

I think this is a great value-added feature for Google to implement. It’s still not the prettiest thing but it will definitely create a better search experience.

I’ve been meaning to drop Google for about a week and try my luck using other search engines. I haven’t brought myself to that point but expect a comparison soon. (I’m primarily interested in Ask)
