Microsoft is ahead of the curve on this action. They have called on Google to follow their example. Right now both Google and Bing retain IP information along with your search details for 18 months or more.

This is most likely a move to prevent the EU from going after MS again when the regulators get around to looking at internet privacy. The EU regulators can instead go after Google on this one. ;)
