Subject: Another new Google twist..

I noticed over the weekend that Google search results now indicate whether, and when, you last visited a site that's returned as a result. So, if you re- do a search that you did a few days ago, you can see which of the earlier sites you visited. The information appears as a date, or if the earlier visit was today, a time, to the right of the main line of the search result. I haven't found any mention of this addition in a cursory check on the Google ste.

This is perhaps most interesting because it will make it apparent even to casual users that Google retaining this history, and is able to observe which sites you visit from their search results. A propos of today's earlier discussion, this history keeping is not confused by the
prefetching of the first search result.
