Wouldn't it be nice to be asked permission when you give up your privacy for better relevancy. What if all your information is passed on and you suddenly get an onslaught of spam? Prolific Programmer -- we agree that the privacy issue is much bigger. We even have to disable the "cookies" on the servers we buy for our data centers. But, search engines are not off the hook. As an industry, we need to always deal with our users openly and honestly. If we are taking information to improve the search experience for you, we need to get your permission to get the information. No ifs, ands, or buts. It is your information, not ours. Pop — thanks for the comment.

Routers can log every packet that passes through them. I think the focus ought to be placed on router vendors like Cisco who have logging on by default than people like Google. Routers enable logging by default and are far more widespread than a single search engine. The privacy issue on the web is much larger than the search engine.
