How to Access Google Search History

When you browse the Web, your home computer stores information about your preferences and history. This allows you to track your online searches, save Web pages and load information faster. Signing up for a Google account allows you to store the same data online, making it possible to access your favorite pages, saved passwords and Web history, to any computer.

Things You'll Need

• Google account

Instructions

View Google Web History

1. Visit Google: History. (See Resources.) You can also run an Internet search for "Google web history."

2. Sign-in with your Google email and password. Your Web history is linked to your Google account. If you want your browsing record to be tracked, be sure to log in to Google whenever you are online.

3. Navigate by selecting "All History" from the left menu or by using the "Search History" bar at the top. You can also select a date from the calendar to the right of the screen; this will pull up all of your Google searches from that day. Regardless of which way you choose to navigate, each record will list the time you performed a query as well as any sites you visited as a result.
