Interesting, checked it out for myself.....
Yeah they had listed all of the places and searches I did and visited all the way back from Jan 2008. Everything was sorted out in groups. Basically it was broken down by website pages, images, videos, news, and misc stuff. It even shows the number of times you visited the same site or the repeat searches you make using the same key words.

It doesn't work unless you search by username. I hardly ever log into google, so it does not have much on me. I do use it though without logging in many times, and I can guarantee you that they track info by IP address as well.

You have to create an account to find out what information they have stolen from you, thus giving them even more information about you! Sounds like yet another scam to get personal information from people.
