I find it very annoying to see searches pop up that were not initiated by me, nor were they done on my computer. I've seen searches pop up while I was at the computer. I have a nosy spouse who asks about those errant searches (e.g., "Why were you searching obituaries yesterday?" Answer: "To check to see if I'm dead yet." If I delete the gadget, she becomes suspicious; if I leave it, I get interrogated. Can this be a (work related) network problem? Explanation? Fixes? Thanks
Click on the 'search history' link on top of your history preview. It takes you to a sign up page for your account. Sign in and on the left hand side there is a menu. Under the 'All history' link click on 'remove items' then select items you wish to remove. Hope this helps.
how do we delete items from the history? I use it at work and when looking for other companies to apply to I really don't want my job searches appearing on my homepage!
I use google.co.uk for all my searches, but when I use this device to re-search it goes to google.com and I get different results. Any chance we can set which google we search?
I'm disappointed that I'm no longer able to access my full search history, being guided instead to my web history. I'd prefer the old gadget back again.
Now that you can minimize gadgets, is there any point in having the 'Hide preview' link? It seems just to take up an extra line on my home page. Otherwise it's great!

The web site history is nice but one should be able to view the history of websites visited. Especially the last one used!

Can you remove "Hide preview" link, since we can roll-up entire gadget its redundant. Google write good gadgets but they don't maintains their works !

Handy but very basic

It'd be great if the search results could be expanded to show results that were clicked on

I think you should make it so you can scroll up and down like in the Google Reader Gadget.

I don't want my search history on display to anyone who uses my computer. Why do you make it so hard to remove, and how do I do it?
