It is the determination that is illegal itself.

  Could you please explain this? (I'm not a native speaker nor am I familiar enough with US law, I guess.)

    Search warrants are issued for specific suspects. This is equivalent to searching a crowd, which is a violation of your fourth amendment. Naturally this hinges on whether or not your activity on google is yours or theirs. While their terms of service is clear, courts may have different opinions.

      If I understand correctly, warrants are issued for a place to search and/or items to be seized. I don't think the criteria is actually naming a specific individual. If it were, police would be prevented from executing warrants where evidence shows that stolen goods are being warehoused until they had an idea of who was doing the stealing, right?

        > If I understand correctly, warrants are issued for a place to search and/or items to be seized. I don't think the criteria is actually naming a specific individual. The property typically has an owner. This is the individual to which I was referring, though this is obviously a metaphorical application like you need to do applying the constitution to modern day.
