Google<\/a> is making some changes to how its system “can” work so that the searches you do give you more accurate results. From their site:<\/p>\n

Personalized Search<\/a> orders your search results based on what you’ve searched for in the past.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Now, the reason I say “can” is because every time I talk about this with anyone their first though is that Google is watching what they do. To use the Personalized Search function of their system you must have a Google account. Thus agreeing to them tracking your searches so that they can provide you with more accurate results to your personal taste. From their site:<\/p>\n

Early on, you may not notice a huge impact on your search results, but they will continue to improve over time as you use Google.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

The best way to really explain what this means to your average user is to pass on a simple example that someone told me:<\/p>\n

Lets say Steve likes fishing and Mike likes music.
\nIf they both search for “bass” in Google<\/p>\n

Steve will see fishing results
\nMike will see music results<\/strong><\/p>\n

In the non stop effort to provide more accurate results to search engine users this looks to be a step in the right direction. The only downside I can see is that people will not want Google tracking their searches. <\/p>\n
