Google now lets you download your search history, not just view it

As part of its commitment to being transparent about the data Google holds on you, the company has long allowed you to view your search history. It’s now gone one better, letting you download that history.

You can download all of your saved search history to see a list of the terms you’ve searched for. This gives you access to your data when and where you want.

I’m not quite sure why anyone would want to do this, but given the company’s numerous run-ins with various governments over data privacy, it probably wants to play safe.
