Back in the 2000's, you still got a referrer header that included not just "google.com", but also the search query parameters. So if you followed https://www.google.com/search?q=my+asshole+boss+joe+schmoe https://www.google.com/search?q=my+asshole+boss+joe+schmoe to get to the .mil hosted bio page, they got to see that.
