Google Knows What You’re Thinking

“Search engines use GET because you can bookmark the search, link the search, and pass data inside the link. However, your search terms end up on the same line as your IP address in standard web logs all over the world with the GET method. This is “referrer” information, which is available to the distant webmaster every time you click on a link from a search results page. The webmaster knows that someone at your IP address accessed his page, and also knows what you were thinking from your search terms”.

And it is from 2002, think about what Google improved at this point… Mr Brandt is quite a long time doing good things, isn’t he?
