I wasn’t too excited about the Microsoft patent application because it seems so similar to what Google is doing with Google suggest.

But the Firefox query history, with the portability of queries was a total surprise, and as you note, is a privacy concern that I hadn’t even guessed at until I saw it happen in front of me.

Definitely good to hear from you, and have someone to bounce ideas off concerning some of the new technology hinted at in patents from the search engines.

Cheers.

Bill

Thank you for your kind words.

I found myself extremely surprised that Firefox was sharing query history. I’m going to have to pay more attention to developments in browsers these days, too. I wonder if IE 7 has a similar feature. :)
