Google search history stored online?

The title says it all...

Within that last 2 days I have completely re-installed my Windows 7 machine. Only today did I install Google Chrome and have just done a search on iGoogle

The purpose of the search was to look up game development/creation software but to my surprise when I typed 'Game' it showed something I searched for at least a month ago, maybe more

I'm now led to believe that google stores previous search information online and am starting to wonder what other information it's storing.

Hmmm, after some searching I've found that ALL google search history is stored in an online database.

This only applies if you have a Google account (as I do) and can be accessed via www.google.com/history
