    Hi guys,
    Has anyone noticed the Google URL having changed recently so it now builds up as you type in search queries. For example if I type a query straight into chrome I get this as the url:


    http://www.google.co.uk/search?sourceid=chrome&ie=UTF-8&q=spoons


    Now if I type in another query into the google search box it gives me:
    http://www.google.co.uk/search?sourceid=chrome&ie=UTF-8&q=spoons#pq=spoons&hl=en&sugexp=gsis%2Ci18n%3Dtrue&cp=7&gs_id=w&xhr=t&q=cutlery&pf=p&sclient=psy&source=hp&pbx=1&oq=cutlery&aq=0&aqi=g5&aql=&gs_sm=&gs_upl=&bav=on.2,or.r_gc.r_pw.&fp=2a3fb0c970388ade&biw=1366&bih=667


    Now I type another query into the search box:
    http://www.google.co.uk/search?sourceid=chrome&ie=UTF-8&q=spoons#pq=cutlery&hl=en&sugexp=gsis%2Ci18n%3Dtrue&cp=6&gs_id=1r&xhr=t&q=bananas&pf=p&sclient=psy&source=hp&pbx=1&oq=bannas&aq=0s&aqi=g-s5&aql=&gs_sm=&gs_upl=&bav=on.2,or.r_gc.r_pw.&fp=2a3fb0c970388ade&biw=1366&bih=667


    As you keep searching so the URL builds up with your previous search data within it. Surely this is going to create a referral url with your search history within it?
    Also if you link to search results are you not in danger of doing the same.

    I do not have such experience from google.com, maybe it only works with .co.uk?

    I have never seen anything like this before with any of my searches. Has anyone else noticed this as well, or are you the only one who has seen this?
