Huh, who even considers googling when logged in? Never ever ...

Time for DuckDuckGo ?

How it happened; My son asked me if I have been surfing with his Nexus 7 lately, as it was suggesting words on google search window that I did actually search for earlier this morning.

However, I had been using my laptop to do that, not the tablet !!

Speculation; as both devices are in the same WLAN, which is NATted to outside world, google is storing my IP address and as a shortcut showing the previous queries to any host accessing google afterwards using he same apparent IP address

Now this is really bad behaviour, as there is no guarantee that a particular IP address belongs to any given device after some time has passed, it might well be given to somebody on completely different town, even different country.
I did not know that. And I can hardly believe, as I am sure almost all private people have an ISP where IP changes all 24 hours (or any period, but not static). And this would not make sense, or? As the same IP may be given to anybody else. Of course they are doing log-in logging and cookie stuff. But IP related ???
Nevertheless this would be only explanation ...
