Title: Google Search July competition
Post by: Computer Hope Admin on July 01, 2008, 10:38:10 AM: This month I thought we'd try a little friendly competition to see who ends up searching the most on Google during the month of July. You can access and view your Google search history through the below link. On this page you'll find your monthly statistics under trends.

Title: Re: Google Search July competition
Post by: Computer Hope Admin on July 01, 2008, 11:18:51 AM: No, as far as I know this history feature of Google will work with and without the Google toolbar.

Post by: Broni on July 02, 2008, 12:38:43 AM: Something strange here. I use Google all the time, and I have 7 searches for June???
Title: Re: Google Search July competition
Post by: Carbon Dudeoxide on July 02, 2008, 02:15:54 PM: LOL

I am trying to download the Google Toolbar to 'expand my web history' but I can't because I'm using the Firefox Add-on Firesomething.
Google doesn't recognize Mozilla Watermonkey...

I think that you must be logged into your Google account, e.g. when on one of the Google pages it shows your e-mail address in the top right portion of the screen. Otherwise it doesn't probably log.

It does all the time, and I still have 7 searches.
...and there is no way, I'll get any extra toolbar, especially Google's.

Post by: Computer Hope Admin on July 02, 2008, 09:58:25 PM: Hmm maybe give it some time I don't have the Google tool bar they provide. I have the Google lite toolbar but I honestly don't think it matters.

Post by: Broni on July 02, 2008, 10:03:44 PM: Carbon has 4, I have 7, so...I don't know. How many searches do you have listed, Nathan?
Title: Re: Google Search July competition
Post by: Computer Hope Admin on July 02, 2008, 10:11:38 PM: 3597 total with 39 so far this month
Title: Re: Google Search July competition
Post by: Carbon Dudeoxide on July 02, 2008, 10:12:26 PM: I have 67 searches this month. (so far)
Title: Re: Google Search July competition
Post by: Broni on July 02, 2008, 10:17:48 PM: Well, I have no clue, how it works, because my results are really strange:

I do tens of searches every day.

Post by: patio on July 08, 2008, 09:43:49 PM: Probably tracks out searches from the Main Google page but not those initiated in Firefox's bar....
I'm off to test this.
Title: Re: Google Search July competition
Post by: Broni on July 08, 2008, 09:52:09 PM: I always had FF set to search from address bar, but sometimes I also use toolbar shortcut to go to Google's main page.

If anyone is sad enough to lie about something like this, then we should probably just humor them.

Post by: Broni on July 22, 2008, 05:23:05 PM: I don't understand it, either.
I use Google all the time, and this is how my activity is listed at Google's history:

Post by: Broni on July 22, 2008, 06:41:40 PM: Maybe those statistics started to kick in, when we first checked them at the beginning of this month?

Post by: Broni on August 02, 2008, 10:06:02 PM: There is something wrong with that Google feature....
This is my Google activity, according to my "Web history":

(http://209.85.48.8/228/109/upload/p4078058.gif)

It looks like I was using Google for 11 minutes yesterday, however I was home, using Google since about 4PM to midnight.
Today, my activity stopped at 11:26AM, and I didn't leave my place until 3PM.

Then, despite the above results, my activity for August is listed as NADA:
