How To Check On Every Single Thing You've Searched on Google
Caroline SorianoFirst thing, "delete browser history" is not working. Well, it's literally visible but 18 years ago, Google has started storing every single thing that a user search in its engine. This does not exempt anything that is searched when a Gmail or Google account is logged in.
This goes even to those who think that their mobile or desktop is locked because all the searches are stored and are "just waiting to be discovered." According to DigitalSpy, by simply going to the browser and typing history.google.com/history, the past starting from the very beginning of using the device will be displayed together with the exact date and time. The user can also go all meta and search their own history to find any forgotten memories.
Aside from the searches, this also lets "internet hunting history" break by medium through Chrome activity, searched images, maps, etc This step will go back so far, the user can even see the very first search created. It's impressive and at some point, embarrassing, as it may raise questions like "why did I even look for that?"
The most interesting part is that Google lets users download the history and have a physical copy of it by supplying step-by-step instructions on how to do it. The idea of being able to see the past Google searches may be delightful but on the other hand, it can be quite annoying as it should be a private matter.
Fortunately, Google allows doing such thing like stop the recording of ever search transactions. Just simply click "Details" control that will pop-up with any individual searches, choosing "Activity Controls" to tweak any Google tracks, and going to "Web & App Activity" to see the future searches that will be made. (via Business Insider) By simply following this, users will be at ease about their past searches and at the same time, bring any needed nostalgic feels.
