you know you can disable personalized search and totally ignore it?
and you can also switch to bing or duckduckgo?
i actually liked this search because it enabled to search through my own old shares on google plus. and of course, getting shared links from people i follow is also cool.

and it is not really creepy. it only searches through content that is already accessible to you and shared by your friends. if i had shared a photo to you alone in the past through plus, you might see it in the search results. but only you get to see it and not others.
it is actually a very good example of why you should be serious about your shares in the public domain. just because tools does not exist that can link your public activities online does not mean that your online activities from the past are safe. facebook can tomorrow launch a similar search that works on shares on their own network. and i bet it would result in much more embarrassing situations for their users.
