Google keeps records on you, did you know that? They want to provide you with better search results and also help advertisers sell you stuff.

 

They don't identify you personally, but they've got the data. 

 

Deleting your browser history won't stop them from tracking your general behavior.

 

I turned off search history long ago, but today stumbled up this article about deleting what Google already knows:

 

"Have you ever wondered what Google Search really knows about you? Well, now you can check, as Google has added a new feature that lets you view and download your entire search history.

Yep. Everything.

 

The feature, which was spotted by the unofficial Google Operating System Blog — though VentureBeat points out that the function was made available in January — gives you access to everything from what you searched for to the links you clicked on from those searches. It also shows you the addresses you’ve searched for.

 

I was even able to see the list of images I clicked on while searching for pictures of cats eating spaghetti. Now imagine what you’ve looked for. Oh, and clearing your browser history won’t delete this data.

 

But there’s no reason to panic, because in addition to being able to download your search history, you can clear it.

What? Seriously? I followed directions and there was no history because I have it turned off. Do you mean I can't even trust google?
