GOOGLE IN PRIVATE

Google launched something pretty cool today, but perhaps something that wouldn't immediately appear so. If you've ever wanted to search for something without your ISP knowing about it - for example illegal downloads - then you may have been concerned about using your search to do so. Not any more. Google have launched a secure version of their Google.com search which means that only Google and you know what it is that you searched for.

The same goes if you are on a public computer - you can search without worry that the next person is going to see your search history - though it may well still be tracked on your machine if you're not using private browsing. 

It's only available on the main google.com site at the moment and can be reached either by going to the www.google.com site and then putting an 's' after the http or by bookmarking that page i.e. https://www.google.com.

Now, what can I search for?
