    This may be old news but I have never noticed it.
    When possible, Google will customize your search results based on location and/or recent search activity. Additionally, when you're signed in to your Google Account, you may see even more relevant, useful results based on your web history.

    Yeah. It's true. I have been noticing this for quite some time. Though I can't find any official documentation.

    I don't know for how long this feature has been there in google, but I found this just today. I was searching my site for the indexed pages with the site: operator when I saw a message that google has personalized the search results.

    Problem for someone working on SEM, so I turned off that fuction to see what others would see in a normal search.

    Yeah, this has been in place for awhile, which is why it's no longer necessary to buy 40,000 keywords in Adwords. It will suck for SEO down the road though.
