1)Are you speaking of how the Google desktop search is

Hi Roger. 1) Yes. 2) I presume you are referring to the (normally)
inaccessible Index.dat files and I regard the Desktop search records as
being
in a similar category. I'm well aware that there are widely differing
views
about these sorts of "hidden" records but I consider them to be intrusive.

2) Actually I was referring to reports of attempts by the gov (US)
to get access to archives of past searches stored at the major search
provider companies. We all know that identity, or lack of it, tied to
our surfing history is extremely hard to keep anonymous.
