I don't know. However, if you're sitting in the lobby of any of the Google buildings, you can see the current searches displayed on huge screens overhead. It's oddly hypnotic, to the point that it can be disappointing when the person you've come to see actually shows up to get you.

I've never heard of Google making those available outside of their offices, but Dogpile has their own "search spy", and I'm quite certain that another search engine has one as well.

The scary part is that all those searches may have been made by the same person.

I have an anti-victorian house. My house cannot stand victorians and nothing I say will convince it to change its mind.

In the pre Google days there was a site that used (I think) Alta Vista's searches. They would show up in groups of ten and refresh every 30 seconds. Other than the common porn search words and searches about who ever the hottie d'jour was, I was always fascinated with incredibly targeted searches where I could never figure out people could actually be looking for. The site was called _____________ Voyeur, but I don't remember what the first word was. Outside of Suck.com, it was the coolest thing on the internet at the time in my world.

"advise to give 16yr old boy who made school varsity team but is not playing in the games"

Man.

"role of women in disney movies"

"circular stone disks found in cave"

"clumsily climbing out of a car in a black minidress that left none of her oft-seen lady parts to the imagination."

Webcrawler used to do this in a format like stock tickers.

Hey look at that, they still do.

Besides the sometimes disturbing searches I've always been amazed at how poor the spelling is. I guess I'm not the only one to use google as a spell checker.

Wow, Mitheral, I look at that thing for 10 seconds and already someone's looking for child porn. That's nice.

thanks cmonkey and Mitheral, for helping me waste my time!
