Usually companies try to patent the most minor and useless "features" which leads to a lot of BS suits but I like this one. Its a cool feature and I don't recall any other search engine doing it prior to google (I may be wrong).

This is good to have on the books for when apple comes out with a similar tech and try to say they came up with it first. They don't make a search engine now but in the future who knows.

The only way for this to work is if they keep a record of your search patterns, enough said.
I like my privacy so F off Google.

Wrong. They can keep a record of common search patterns, totally anonymous. And privacy on internet like in reality doesn't really exist.

Thought this already exists. Strange patent to be honest.

because the patent above exists, it would nullify google's patent.
