SEARCH: AOL - Doh!

AOL researchers recently published the search logs of about 650,000 membersâ€â€?a total of 36,389,629 individual searches. AOL’s search nerds intended the files to be an academic resource but didn’t consider that users might be peeved to see their private queries become a research tool. Last weekend, the Internet service provider tried to pull back the data, but by that point it had leaked all over the Web. If you’ve ever wanted to see what other people type into search boxes, now’s your chance.

Here are the top 7 ways people search online:

The Pornhound.

The Manhunter.

The Shopper.

The Obsessive.

The Omnivore.

The Newbie.

The Basket Case.
