Google retains your full search history, by default, and lets you read all of it. (Google also scans it for ads.) Google most likely also have your real name, address and/or phone number.

Do they hand it over to law enforcement/NSA/oppressive regimes? Maybe.

Well, they do if you let them.

For Mirimir, they have no clue. Just a bunch of blind alleys.
