| Jul 15, 2014 at 2:50 | comment | added | Wug | So, you disagree with me, but you agree with what I said? I'm confused. | |
| Jul 14, 2014 at 23:47 | comment | added | IMSoP | @Wug "Google users" != "Google Chrome users", so that doesn't fully back up your claim. It is probable that they gather URLs submitted by browsers to autocomplete and anti-phishing features though. I have reason to suspect them of harvesting URLs out of messages sent from or to GMail as well, but no hard evidence or citation. | |
| Jul 14, 2014 at 22:14 | comment | added | Wug | This is common knowledge but OK, here's your citation. support.google.com/websearch/answer/106230 "(About autocomplete predictions) ... all of the predictions that are shown in the drop-down list have been typed before by Google users or appear on the web." So yes, things you type into the omnibox are aggregated into google's suggestions. The autocomplete FAQ is linked to in the documentation for the Google Chrome Omnibox here support.google.com/chrome/answer/…. But they exclude porn, so if you dont want your site indexed, put a naked lady in it. | |
