I'm experiencing something really weird - I'm getting different search results in Google based on whether I'm logged in or out of my Google account.

Does Google somehow "cache" searches when you're logged in (maybe for data mining purposes?) I think it's really strange that I'm getting different search results when I'm logged in vs. logged out of my Google account.

Specifically, I recently setup a 301 redirect on one of my pages. If I'm logged out of Google, and search for the keyword phrase specific to that page, it shows up as the #1 result on the new page. However, if I log into Google, it shows up as the #4 result, and it still shows the old web page.

Any ideas?
