How to Re-Live Every Embarrassing Google Search You've Ever Made

[4now]

"You can download all of your saved search history to see a list of the terms you've searched for," a Google support page says. "This gives you access to your data when and where you want."

For the brave who want to view their history -- and even delete it, there's a quick way to gain access to your data.

Visit history.google.com and log in with your Google account. It's important to note that Google says only account holders can see their data.

From there, click through a calendar view to explore what you searched for on any given date. While the content can be surprising, the frequency of how often one relies on Google search is also striking.

For those who are oddly sentimental or just want to keep a record of their Google searches, the entire database can be downloaded by clicking the settings button in the upper right corner.

How weird to see all my searches from long ago.

1. So what they're saying is that anyone who hacks your google account password can get your entire

search history. Fabulous.

2. Sounds completely innocent. No room for abuse there.

3. How embarrassing.

4. I turned off all of my Google history a long time ago, I don't want to see it and I sure as hell

don't want anyone else to see it, but I have this nagging feeling it's still there, someplace, in Google's attic.

5. One day Google will be able to recreate us in cyberspace by analyzing our searches

Wait until you wake up in your biggest fantasy, you're going to love or maybe hate it.

6. Ah, a cyberspace recreation of Earth, because it's looking like this Earth may not make it...

I'm thinking that my recreated personality is going to be missing a few bits because I'm not on Facebook or any similar sites, and my writing tends to be a bit guarded. Nobody wants to hear my darkest nightmares.

Fortunately there are a few naked and near naked photos of me floating about, taken years ago when I was looking damn fine. Maybe they can edit out the medical annoyances.

I wonder where Google is building the data center? Neptune or Pluto might be a good place and they are already named appropriately.
