Thanks, it's only exporting 922 searches for me.

Increasing the num=100000 argument doesn't seem to impact this limit.

One would think that your search history should be a core part of their data liberation effort.



You can specify the date to export, so could step back exporting batches until you've got everything.

It shouldn't be too hard to write a script to scrape you're whole history...


Hacked this together to do the job:

Doesn't work for me:

export.rb:1:in `require': no such file to load -- mechanize (LoadError) from export.rb:1

edit: nvm, installed libwww-mechanize-ruby and it's working fine.
