New issue 3359 by asmeu...@gmail.com: SymPy Live: Issues with "Privacy" and the recent searches feature
http://code.google.com/p/sympy/issues/detail?id=3359

The "Privacy" setting in SymPy Live controls if the inputs are saved in the global recent searches. But it doesn't look like a lot of people are using the feature (all but two of the ten current recent searches are by me). I think part of the reason is that it's not clear what "Privacy" means, and I don't think anyone would disable it without knowing.

So I think the option should be renamed to something like "Save searches in Recent Searches", where "Recent Searches" links to the recent searches box. This doesn't make it clear that the searches are saved globally (i.e., visible to all users of the site), however. So any suggestions here?

Also, even with this, I don't think the feature will be used unless it's on by default. So should we consider doing this?

As a middle ground, I think we should at the very least save by default executed statements from the Sphinx extension, as there is no privacy issue there (in fact, there's probably not even a need to offer an option there).

Finally, "Recent searches" isn't a good name, as they aren't really searches. We need a better name than searches.
