Does Google use a person's search history to filter job applications?
If i were to apply to a job to Google, I would definitely use my Gmail ID in the application form and in my resume. All of my Google tools would be linked to this id.
Now I understand that an individual's Google Search data is holy and only a limited few within Google can access the same.
But wouldn't Google be able to build a simplified YES or NO tool using a candidate's search history, that the recruiters within Google can use to shortlist a candidate?
Do they do so?

Not only does this not happen, but it would probably be illegal for any employer to do this for a variety of reasons -- medical information in searches, evidence of gender, race, disabilities, etc. which could (rightfully) lead to all kinds of discrimination lawsuits. Rest assured that this is not happening.
