I had something similar happen to me - I got curious, googled T, hit the jackpot, and then freaked out about telling T. I couldn't live with the guilt I felt in doing that search, yet, I tried to justify it by saying that if it's on the internet, it's open to anyone.

In the end, I did confess to T, and we had a great conversation about the motivation behind my search. We also agreed (I agreed) that if I was curious about anything else, I'd ask, instead of head to google, and T would respond appropriately. That was three years ago and we're still going strong!

I wouldn't have been able to face T after finding the google goodies, I'd have been so fearful I'd say something accidentally, that I couldn't live with the guilt. It ended up working out for the best, in my case. I wish you luck with whatever you choose.
