And why don't they do the same with DNS queries?

Quoting from the recently released public DNS service:

"The temporary logs store the full IP address of the machine you're using... We _delete_ these temporary logs within 24 to 48 hours."

Is there anything in the Patriot Act that says explicitly that search engines should keep search logs but not DNS queries?

They delete them, but not before the government makes a copy.

No, I was just joking. I planned on indicating that, but I forgot to when I left the browser tab for a bit and returned.
