Not sure why folks always get their undies in a bunch over this kind of stuff. You do realize that if google wanted to track your searches, they could do it anyway, right?
Excellent points. It's not like the company is tying IP addresses to specific queries and then showing the public "this guy at 192.168.x.x was looking for 'Pamela Anderson riding donkey naked mask' ". There's actually another search engine that I can't recall the name of at the moment that uses that method of showing what the recent search queries are. I came across it a few years ago but I don't remember what it was (sorry). Also for those who are going to register and are REALLY worried that queries get tied to personal information just do what I do and put in fake info. I think my hotmail/gmail accounts are currently under the name Justin Timberlake or something to that effect.
