New Search History Link on Google

We have all done it, time and time again. You click or surf away from a web page or website that you have stumbled upon and then clicked so far away, or closed down your web browser that you can never find it again.

We've done it several times, but now there is no need to panic if you are using Google as your main search engine. Those clever bods over at Google have now designed and launched their new 'search history feature' - which will let you recover or revisit those lost websites or web pages.

All you need to do is sign in and click the history link near the bottom of the page, and voila your search history is appear. Note this only works on searches your have starred from your normal desktop search, or searches through your iPhone or Android phones.

You have to enable the search history in your Google account. Log in and go to Settings, then click Save Searches. Once done the history of the searches you have done when signed into your Google account will be there, from where-ever in the world you searched for. So as long as you are signed in from any computer in any office your search history will be logged and kept.

Clearing the history & also stopping the history logs is simply done through your account too.
