Researchers at AOL had released three months' worth of search logs that contained nearly 20 million search histories detailing the online lives of 658,000 customers. The data included information on subscribers who used AOL's browser, but not those who had used AOL's portal. AOL user IDs were replaced with pseudonymous numbers and the data was organized by a user's search history. The data set included the time and date of a search, the search terms and the result, if any, clicked on.
AOL has apologized and taken down the data, but it is now widely available on the internet and some have set up search engines that query the records.
Somethingawful has compiled the best ones:
you can definitely notice thesightless', kinky's, and picklemonkey's in there
