Why would that be? Your ISP knows who's connecting to them and what IP  
address has been assigned to them. If the company keeps its own logs then  
it's simply a matter of matching up times. Come the official police state  
and we'll all have fixed IP addresses tied to our ID cards and it'll be a  
criminal offence to use a different one.

On an even easier note if you've signed up to Google (or don't clear your  
cookies) and did the search there then they at least know exactly who you  
are and what you like to search for; all it'll take is a court order and  
voila.
