    Did you know that Google has a record of every single
    web search your computer's ever made and technically
    it should be spelt Googol and not Google.
    That's my useless thought of the day. lol

    Yeah, go ogle, for a ogle of results.
    A ogle is a 1 with a hundred 0's behind it.

    Does it keep track of the computer or the IP on the computer?

    While it tracks IP as all web servers do, it's main tracking is by a Cookie, that uses a [[GUID]] to identify your computer, as many computers have [[DHCP]] addresses.
