At what point do we want the legal system to no longer have the power to scrutinize an individual's history?
I don't believe that a warrant to "ruffle through someone's life" without limits is within the powers of a judge. A warrant to procure relevant evidence to a case being investigated, legally, certainly.
Issuing an order for someone's entire Google history for a year is bordering "an unreasonable search and seizure", by my understanding.
