Here’s what I found on is an interactive website that explores the search engine as an ongoing cultural artifact, archiving the desires and interests of the user. Using 38,000 Google searches culled from my browser history from 2014 to the present, this piece revisits a collection of half-forgotten intentions.

Entering the site, the visitor is greeted with “Here’s what I found on…”. Upon click, a search query from this database is returned, inviting another click and another search until fragments of the coder’s identity are revealed. Underscoring this piece are the implicit biases and beliefs embedded in all codes, design systems, and search engines.
