(That's the first version of that page on archive.org, and also seems to be the day this was announced based on the previous HN discussion.)

The link you shared says- > Starting March 29, 2022, the Web & App Activity Admin console setting is going away and a new user setting, Google Workspace search history, is enabled by default for all users. That says they're removing the existing option and replacing it with a new one, and that the new one will be on by default. This has changed- they're now honoring the old setting and migrating its value to the new one, as opposed to ignoring it like they said they were going to do here.

  It's not saying that. It's saying that the "Web & App Activity" setting in the admin console is going away and being replaced with nothing in in the admin console. Users will have two settings, controlling disjoint features, "Web & App Activity" and "Workspace search history". The former one will be set to whatever the "Web & App Activity" admin console setting was set to. The latter one will be set to enabled. The archive.org copy of the initial FAQ version explicitly states this multiple times. > If you disabled Web & App Activity in the Admin console, it’s turned off for Google Workspace users.
