If you just log out of your google account search should be fully 'de-personalized' right?


That would be up to Google. They still know your IP address, general location, browser, OS, etc. and can use that to "personalize" your search results.


That can still be 5 different people in one house. Or several hundred in a neighborhood.


Cookies can solve that. If that's how it works is another question.

Or use NoCrap Google Search Bar (and Firefox) to add pws=0 automatically: http://userscripts.org/scripts/show/120144
