I guess I'm just generally confused as to why AOL got in trouble. But IIRC each person had a unique idea so you could put their searches together, and I guess some of those people had searched for their own names. Since you're not putting multiple searches from the same person together it should be alright.
On the other hand, why should anyone expect their searches to be private at all? If I wanted to share searches coming to my website and even group them by IP address, what's stopping me? What if I said I would do this in my privacy policy?
BTW, I've been thinking of a Feedjit type thing but for search keywords instead of location. That's what got me wondering about these privacy issues. I hope that idea wasn't in your future plans ...
