So you hit google's page any time from that IP that and they have your DNS searches tied to the permanent google cookie living on your machine and whenever that IP address overlapped with the DNS queries.

Fair enough. Doesn't really work so well, though — plenty of offices out there with dozens of people behind one single public IP address.
