Someone Else's Google Search History? Android Related?

Google Web HistoryWe’ve reported on complaints of Google web history fraud in the past, in fact – it has even helped some moms catch their kids searching for porn. But we know there were examples of Google working with searchers to prevent someone else’s history from showing in their search history results.

A new thread at Google Web Search Help has more users coming in and complaining. These searchers are saying it appears to be related to when they conduct searches over their Android devices.

One person said:

Followed up with another searcher:

Weird, right? How is this tied to mobile Android searches? I am not sure.

A Googler from the Web History team did reply but didn’t really answer this specific question. Jonathan McPhie from Google said:

That is good, so if you change your password Google will soon force you to re-login before doing more searches. Good change, I guess. But how does that exactly relate to the above?
