The core problem with Google+ is that people don't want everyone to know what they Google. What goes in the search box is treated as private (even though we know governments can see it, we expect that our neighbours cannot) and now anyone can just skim to our Google+ profile to see everything we've ever done. I miss the anonymous Internet.

Why would you want to be logged in while searching via Google?

  Stuff will show up in my Google Now? It's cool to search for a place on my computer and then have my phone ask me if I want directions when I'm leaving.
