For me it seems to be B: tried to download history as described in the linked blog post and it took me to a page asking if I want to enable search history. Clicked 'No thanks' and it just showed me the google start page, not even an error message or so.
edit forget the above. I got an email "Your Google search history archive is ready" with a link to a Drive document. Which contained an html file saying basically "No Searches". I cannot tell if that is really correct though: I don't actively use the account let alone I remember if I turned of search history before doing any searches while logged in..
- coldpie 12y agoI have had Search History disabled for years, but not forever. I use my Google account all over the place, including at work and on my Android phone. I downloaded the search archive and it contained the same "No Searches" HTML file and nothing else. It's impossible to know whether they actually store this data, but at least as far as their direct user-facing interfaces are concerned, Google does not track my search history.
