To see what you've searched for on Google, visit https://history.google.com and sign in with the Google account that you search with. You'll see your search statistics and your recent search queries. The menu on the left will allow you to see your different types of searches, such as voice searches and location history. Keep reading for more information on your Google history, as well as checking your google history through your specific web browser.
Method One of Five:
Checking Your Google History in Your Google Account
1
Open google.com/history in your usual web browser. If you have some kind of account with Google, such as an email address or youtube account, your search history will be kept by Google when you are logged in.[1] Going to this URL will take you straight to your Google history.
You can also view your history when logged in by selecting ‘Settings’, and then ‘History’.
2
Sign in (if necessary). If you are not already signed in when you go to google.com/history, you will be prompted to log in with your username and password. You can only track Google activity if a user is signed in.
If you want Google to always track your searching history click on the box to "Remember me on this computer." This will keep you logged on until you sign out.[2]
Google can track your activity across multiple devices and web browsers. However, you must be signed in on each of them.
3
View your history. Once you have logged in you will immediately see your recent history of searches on the screen in front of you. You can search deeper into your history using the search bar, or by selecting a particular date to examine. It is also possible to filter the results for a search by maps, videos, etc.
If nothing appears, it is most likely because you have not turned on the web history function.
4
Turn the web history on. If there is no history displayed and you want Google to track your searches, turn on the web history by clicking on the blue button that should be visible on the left-hand side of the screen when you log in. If you can’t see this button, click on "Settings" in the lower right hand corner of the screen, and then on "History." Finally, click "Turn Web History on."
You will only be able to track the Google web history of searches when your account is still signed in. As soon as your account is logged out (as may happen if the cache is cleared), Google will no longer be tracking your web history.

Method Two of Five:
Using Internet Explorer to View Your Google History
1
Open Internet Explorer. If you don’t have any kind of Google account or you are not logged in to it, it is still possible to access your history through your internet browser. You should keep in mind, however, that with this method you will only be able to view your history on Google as it pertains to the computer and browser you are using right now. If you are using Internet Explorer, open up that browser.
2
Open the browser's history. This is the basic way to access a browser’s stored web history, which is not limited to Google searches. The browser history can be pulled up by pressing the key combination Ctrl-H.[3] Alternatively, you can click on Favourites (the star icon, located next to the home button). After the Favourites sidebar opens, select the "History" tab.[4]
3
View the browser's Google search history. Once you have opened up the browser history you can focus the results down to your Google searches by typing "google.com" into the history search window. This will filter out your web history from that website and your Google search history on this browser and this computer will appear.
If you are using Google in another country, don’t forget to change your search terms to google.de, or google.fr, for example.
