Google Search July competition
« 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.

No, as far as I know this history feature of Google will work with and without the Google toolbar.

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.

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.

Carbon has 4, I have 7, so...I don't know. How many searches do you have listed, Nathan?

Well, I have no clue, how it works, because my results are really strange:



I do tens of searches every day.

Probably tracks out searches from the Main Google page but not those initiated in Firefox's bar....
I'm off to test this.

I always had FF set to search from address bar, but sometimes I also use toolbar shortcut to go to Google's main page.
