How can I retrieve the last 3 weeks history of web searches on my computer?

Question

The history button only provides the last 6 days history. There must be a way to reset it and retrieve more history. Any help appreciated.

Answer 1

To increase the length of time that your browser maintains your URL History:

For IE6:

Got to Tools >> Internet Options >> General Tab

Change the "Days to keep pages in history" to 21

Click on "Apply, then click on "OK"

For Firefox2 / Netscape9:

Go to Tools >> Options >> Privacy Tab

Change the "Remember visited pages for the last" to 21

Click on "OK"

For Opera9:

Go to Preferences >> Advanced Tab

Click in the "History" link

Change the "Addresses" to 1000 (If you visit a lot of web pages, you may wish to set this value even higher)

Hope this helps
