I'm just looking over it now, its too much info to be processed on my computer. I'm going to wait till I go to school to process it through SAS and the supercomputer 'grid'. :)

Really? I was hoping to be able to view it. Tell us how that goes.
 
Well, you can process each one indivdually. I want to see the whole picture. My personal computer isn't strong enough to process a few million rows.

Some of these are hiliarious. 6497 goes from mad dog, to vietnam war, to atomic bomb, to hydrogen bomb, to speedo like 50,000 times, then fruit of the loom, and then he goes to tanning oil, then to men stripper.

Another (3302) is searching for post partum depression and infanticide, cdc on infant death, cause sensity to light.

lord.

It's fascinating looking at people's thought patterns. Lots of good niche ideas (none of the above :)) in these files.
 
This would make great link bait, listing the top 10 most disturbing searches. Mark Brooks of online personals watch pointed out this one:

"Check out the search history for user 17556639: how to kill your wife, wife killer, how to kill a wife, poop, dead people, pictures of dead people, killed people, dead pictures, murder photo, steak and cheese, photo of death, death, dead people photos, www.murderdpeople.com, decapatated photos, car crashes3, car crash photo."

I really think AOL is effectively brain dead as a corporation. This isn't the first time they've retracted something employees have done, gnutella comes to mine. But hey, all the better for us!

Question is, can the government now subpoena AOL over these searches? I'm guessing yes.

Holy shit.

I enjoy the ones where they are looking up church addresses, and stuff about values, and then go straight into the hardcore porn. haha

It looks like Markus Frind has jumped at this linkbait..

Those search words are shocking at first, however...Couldn't it just as easily have been someone doing research for writing a cheesy thriller novel rather than someone who actually wants to kill his wife? Maybe that's a fat chance, but still...
