Use Mystery Google to Get Someone Else’s Search Results

Type in a search term on Mystery Google, and you get back “what the people before you searched for.”

Mystery Google Website is a fun new site that delivers real mystery Google results every time you attempt to use it.

Mystery Google works on a simple premise: what ever the person before you searched for, you get in your results. The results are delivered through Google proper, so perhaps not smartly the folks behind the site might not be making much off it by using Google custom search.

The Mystery Google website offers a seriously strange riff on the “I’m Feeling Lucky” button: instead of taking you to the number one result for your own query, it takes you to the search results for the user who searched just before you.

If you’re in the mood for discovery or just plain randomness, Mystery Google might just teach you something new.

I just tried entering “mystery google” into the Mystery Google search box and received the following answer: “That is the site you are on.”
