It adds the possibility for users to store their search queries. It's 
possible for both logged users and anonymous users.
More than that, if an anonymous user with a search history log in, the 
whole anonymous history is loaded and stored as the user search history.

Isn't there any privacy problems with this feature?
I mean, if user_1 do some search as an anonymous user, and then user_2 
go on the same computer and log in, the whole user_1 search history is 
saved into user_2 search history.

This behaviour has been reported as a bug by some BibLibre customers, 
that's why I ask.
