On my way to leave the office this evening and I noticed Google’s Preference Option Display has changed to a small “Sign In” and Preference Wheel in the top right corner of the screen. It made me remember to remind you all to click on that preference wheel  and you will see 3 options

  1. Search Settings
  2. Web History
  3. Privacy

If you click on the “Web History”  you will notice the statement “Your search results may be customized using search activity from this computer.
Disable customizations based on search activity.”

As Google keeps track of your search activity and provides customized search results based on the pattern of your use. I personally do not care for this and prefer to see true, raw search results when I am searching for something. So you can click on that link and Disable customization if you would like to get those true, raw results….rather than what Google thinks you want to see. Just a tip…as most people do not know this is even occurring when they search for something in Google.
