and you some how have to use that in order to use google's search engine? I could see if you were forced to use that in order to use the search engine, but you don't, so if I go on a random public computer, its not going to steal my SSN, or my mother's maiden name

You aren't forced. But you asked about mechanism "how they could store your information", so here it is. Also if you use static IP, your search request can be easily tracked to your machine. Besides, public computer can be infected with trojan/keylogger.
People, if you are paranoid about privacy, don't do anything that could make you too interesting to the government. Or someone else. And if you want to know how carefully "they" watch you, simply search for something like "how to make a bomb" with google (I really think nothing will happen). There is illegal cr@p on the internet and there are a lot of people who purposedly search for this cr@p. But I don't think that government(or someone else) track down each person. Instead of worrying about online privacy, I'd think/worry about security cameras in banks, shops and on the streets. Those are larger threat to your privacy, IMO.
