    Chrome has a feature where it will synchronise your settings, history, bookmarks, etc with a server - which then can be synchronised to other computers / devices.

    Chrome > Menu > Settings .. Sign in ..

    Short answer: Yes.

    Upon further research, it is not just Google Sync that is remembering your search history (within Chrome).

    Google Accounts is watching you ... :eek:

    Google Accounts will remember what you've searched for amongst a few other things. If you have logged into one of the Google Services (e.g. search, gmail, maps, youtube) within any browser and device, then Google will remember what you have searched for.
