I think Google tailors results according to what they know about you.
Even if you reset the router to a new IP and clear all the cookies
they still seem to know. I've wondered if the browser has an
identifying number.
Supplementing the observations made here by others, I suggest this
introductory reference on the topic:
https://coveryourtracks.eff.org/about
Cover Your Tracks is two things: a tool for users to understand how
unique and identifiable their browser makes them online, and a
research project to uncover the tools and techniques of online
trackers and test the efficacy of privacy add-ons. Running tests on
Cover Your Tracks gives you information about your own browser’s
privacy protections, and also helps EFF use statistical methods to
evaluate the capabilities of third-party trackers and the best forms
of protection against them.
