How to Re-Live Every Embarrassing Google Search You've Ever Made

— -- There's a way to download a history of every Google search you ever made while logged into your Google account.

It's eye-opening to see what deeply personal secrets or insights into your life you give Google every time you make a search.

Look no further than last week. My hundreds of Google searches included many items relating to my job (yes, astronauts do live on Greenwich Mean Time), while a few touched on my personal life ("Oyster Bar NYC" and "Find a Target baby registry").

That's only scraping the surface. My history dates back to 2010 when I first signed up for Gmail.

"You can download all of your saved search history to see a list of the terms you've searched for," a Google support page says. "This gives you access to your data when and where you want."

For the brave who want to view their history -- and even delete it, there's a quick way to gain access to your data.

Visit history.google.com and log in with your Google account. It's important to note that Google says only account holders can see their data.

From there, click through a calendar view to explore what you searched for on any given date. While the content can be surprising, the frequency of how often one relies on Google search is also striking.

For those who are oddly sentimental or just want to keep a record of their Google searches, the entire database can be downloaded by clicking the settings button in the upper right corner.

Getting rid of a sordid search history is also easy. Choose settings, remove items and pick a time frame, including "from the beginning of time" to wipe your history clean.

Individual items can also be deleted by checking the box next to them and clicking the "remove items" button.

Overall, it's like looking back in time to reveal everything from your medical history, to what you were cooking for dinner to your relationship status.
