Googled for your ritual?

Yes, you can go back and look at your own, *but* you have to be signed in to google and you can clear the queries...

OTOH, given that google doesn't know what fraternity I belong to, or that I am googling for a ritual, how much is really revealed if it sees someone googling "4 men who came together for the best of purposes".

I guess it depends on the search results? I recall hearing somewhere that a particular search engine saves queries and results and uses them to find better matches. I guess if it's already on the internet there's not a whole lot I can do about it, but I don't want to help a search engine perfect its methods of finding my (hell, anyone else's) ritual.

Then again, I am kinda paranoid
