Does Google use a person's search history to filter job applications?
If i were to apply to a job to Google, I would definitely use my Gmail ID in the application form and in my resume. All of my Google tools would be linked to this id.
Now I understand that an individual's Google Search data is holy and only a limited few within Google can access the same.
But wouldn't Google be able to build a simplified YES or NO tool using a candidate's search history, that the recruiters within Google can use to shortlist a candidate? Do they do so?

I'm an engineer at Google. Not only does this not happen, but it would probably be illegal for any employer to do this for a variety of reasons -- medical information in searches, evidence of gender, race, disabilities, etc. which could (rightfully) lead to all kinds of discrimination lawsuits. Rest assured that this is not happening.
To eliminate all doubts, a simpler solution would be to use a different mail id while applying for a job position at google. One that you can dedicate only for job search and nothing else.;-)
