Can said information include everything gleaned from Google searches and pages with Google analytics? I.e. a full browsing history?

  Yes, and gmail if you use, you'r gps/gsm cordinates over the past 3 years and more if you have an android phone. The scary thing as you pointed out with analytics, even if you have no google account google still hold data on you. If you use a private email server google still have a copy of every email you sent to gmail or received and will hand them over as its associated with you.

    What do you mean with "If you use a private email server google still have a copy of every email you [..] received"?

      I believe they mean: Even if you don't use gmail, but you correspond with other people who do use gmail, the other people's copies of your messages are linked to you and handed over. It's hard to avoid corresponding with other people who use gmail. But it's even harder, when you realise this includes people using their own private email domains that are handled by the gmail service without your knowledge. Many companies do this, even if it's just for the excellent spam filtering.

  Of course, in the event that you've asked Google to retain that data and the order compels its production.

  Probably pretty much everything. Think like the party who requested it. They just accessed someone's private digital life, you think they will be shy asking for data? Location history, installed apps, photos, videos, Gmail, etc. best to assume they have a full export.

    I think what the grand parent was hinting with Google Analytics is data collected outside of what's stored directly in the Google account. If you visit a site that has Google Analytics on or if you fill a Recaptcha, do they match this with your Google account and store it somewhere, outside of your account? And is this data available to third parties?

      What if you use Google's DNS servers? (8.8.8.8 and 8.8.4.4) Would Google log and hand over all DNS lookups too?

        Do I trust Google to do the right thing? Hell no. Do I trust Google legal to not directly lie to me? I do. > Google Public DNS stores two sets of logs: temporary and permanent. The temporary logs store the full IP address of the machine you're using. We have to do this so that we can spot potentially bad things like DDoS attacks and so we can fix problems, such as particular domains not showing up for specific users. > We delete these temporary logs within 24 to 48 hours. > In the permanent logs, we don't keep personally identifiable information or IP information. We do keep some location information (at the city/metro level) so that we can conduct debugging, analyze abuse phenomena. After keeping this data for two weeks, we randomly sample a small subset for permanent storage. > We don't correlate or combine information from our temporary or permanent logs with any personal information that you have provided Google for other services.

      We are talking a company of which the most profitable part is targeted ads. You really doubt they will not try to group as much information of a single entity as they possibly can? People will have all sorts of excuses like "they can't do that, cookieless domains" etc etc but I am fairly certain that each and every data point which Google has access to, will be tried to be matched with some sort of account or account husk. It might not all be visible or directly accessible/usable until they can segment and label it but they have the data and want to use it either now or in the future.
