yes, i know (and also browser fingerprinting if they really wanted to), but do they do that? as far as i know, they do not (likely for various reasons - bad press, confusion of people behind NATs, etc).

[i mean, more exactly, that i have heard nothing about them updating personal information with data from searches when not logged in; i am not talking aggregate info like typical searches from geoip locations]
