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.
