Mountain out of a molehill? I don't see how Google storing OmniBox search information is any different from Google storing search queries entered at google.com. As for IP information being stored I don't consider it a method of personally identifying users. It can't distinguish between dynamic or static IPs, nor the individual computer (of many?) behind a single public IP address. If a user is that worried about sensitive information they would already have anonymous http proxies setup, faraday cages, trench coats and sunglasses.
