While using Live Search today ( yea, I use it! ), I came across this interesting new feature by chance which seems similar to Google Web History but isn’t. While Google keeps track of every search you make if its history option is enabled, Live Search History maintains a search record for maximum of 48 hours. You can also turn history off at any time or delete individual queries. While it is very helpful, it also seems to respect your privacy more than Google Web History does.

The options for History are very simple and let you delete individual queries, clear history or just turn it off.

History isn’t working for me on my own notebook, but on my pc it’s still working. I took the screenshots by loading the web pages offline from the cache, but after trying again later, it still works for me. I also managed to get to the help entry which is available here.

Here is what the help for History says:

Get back to where you’ve been with history
With Live Search you can now easily get back to sites you’ve seen before using your history. Your history only applies to your current search session, with a maximum session time of 48 hours. You can turn history on or off at any time and you can delete your history with a single click.

Seeing your history
History is on by default. Your history appears on the left side of your search results page. As you continue to search, your history will continue to grow for the duration of your current session, as long as you keep history turned on.

•Turn history off at any time by clicking turn off. If you turn history off, no clicks and no searches are recorded. To turn history back on, simply click turn on.
•Delete an individual query from your history by clicking manage and then clicking the X next to the query you want to delete.
•Delete your entire history by clicking clear. Your history will also automatically be deleted if you close your browser window or leave the page open for more than 48 hours.
Managing your history
To see a detailed view of your current session history, click manage to go to your recent searches. This page lets you see the searches you’ve done along with the sites you’ve clicked on for each search. From this page, you can delete your entire history or just individual entries as needed.

Do let me know if it works for you!

P.S. The screenshots were taken over a Remote Desktop Connection, so Aero is missing.
