Google will start making its records about users' searches anonymous after 18 to 24 months under a policy announced Wednesday.
Until now, the dominant search company has indefinitely retained a log of every search with identifiers that can associate it with a particular computer. The new policy, to be implemented within the next year, is intended to better protect users' privacy, two executives wrote in a Google Blog entry posted Wednesday. InfoWorld
