Google Adds Trends Feature To Personalized SearchGoogle Adds Trends Feature To Personalized Search

Google Inc. has added to its Personalized Search tool a trends feature that provides registered users with a list of their top searches and other history-related information.

Other patterns tracked by the new feature include most visited Web sites, daily activity and other tidbits, the search engine said this week. The information is retrieved through a "Trends" link on a users' search page.

Personalized Search, which is in beta, allows Google's registered users to view and manage past searches, including pages, images and news headlines. The tool provides a search history and the ability to create bookmarks that can be accessed from any computer. Users can delete any portion of a search history.
