Web History offers you more relevant search results and recommendations based on your web activity, providing you with a more personalized experience on Google.
When you create a Google Account at http://www.google.com/accounts/NewAccount, you're given the option to enable Web History with your account.
With Web History, you can:
- View and search across webpages you've visited in the past, including Google searches. Now you don't have to hunt for things you've seen and liked in the past!
- Find trends on your web activity, such as your most visited sites and top searches.
- Get more personalized search results based on what you've searched for and which sites you've visited.
- See personalized predictions in autocomplete based on what you've searched for and which sites you've visited.
- Filter search results by pages you've visited before using the Search options panel.
Your Web History is stored on Google servers, so you can view and manage it from any computer by signing into your Google Account. We store information related to the pages you visit, such as the URL, but don't store a snapshot of the page itself in your account.

Note: Depending upon whether or not you're signed in to a Google Account when you search, the information we use for customizing your experience will be different:
Signed-in personalization: When you're signed in, Google personalizes your search experience based on your Web History. If you don't want to receive personalized results while you're signed in, you can turn off Web History and remove it from your Google Account. You can also view and remove individual items from your Web History.
Signed-out personalization: When you're not signed in, Google customizes your search experience based on past search information linked to your browser, using a cookie. Google stores up to 180 days of signed-out search activity linked to your browser's cookie, including queries and results you click. Learn more.
