Huh, even with different Google Accounts?
I've been noticing the same on my home network (modem hasn't lost power in a year, so my home IP is pretty much static)
Probably a way to try to target the interests of individuals [in a certain area where x is trending, for example].
On my end, I've noticed that sites I frequently visit rank higher even for my neighbors' (same ISP).

Yes, completely different google accounts (in fact I was not even logged in google on the laptop), different OS (Ubuntu vs. JellyBean) and different browsers to boot 
It's good I don't have a habit of googling for stuff unsuitable for children but still... Think about the cases where that happens

What I thought is that they would be more careful, as this is nothing to do with friendliness.
Being such global hoarder of data they should consider carefully what to leak outside, as that will damage their reputation.

This might be something that's known generally but I just came by this today.
How it happened; My son asked me if I have been surfing with his Nexus 7 lately, as it was suggesting words on google search window that I did actually search for earlier this morning.
However, I had been using my laptop to do that, not the tablet !!
Speculation; as both devices are in the same WLAN, which is NATted to outside world, google is storing my IP address and as a shortcut showing the previous queries to any host accessing google afterwards using he same apparent IP address
Now this is really bad behaviour, as there is no guarantee that a particular IP address belongs to any given device after some time has passed, it might well be given to somebody on completely different town, even different country.
Nevertheless this would be only explanation ...

Try https://startpage.com/
Duckduck doesn't give the same search results as google and to be ohnest they are not so good for me. Startpage gives the same results as google but without privacy problems.

you didnt knew that??? Even they provide user centric reasults all the time which is disgusting i mean google keeps some sort of record of users searches and provide you with stuff that you want to see and spoof out the ones that are very much relevant because goo thinks that you are less prone to click on them not click on them) i didnt knew that but when i used bing i was annoyed that it gave much diffrent results but relavent and useful to the topic.
so i use bing when i think its spoffing too much and very much i get the results i was looking for
