It may be too late already. I went to look at my history to see what was there and maybe clear it. The only screen that comes up for me is:
(see attachment in previous post)
I do not get the option like the screen shown in the EF example:

Oh well.

No, I think that simply means that your account's search web history was already OFF (by some prior default), and so you have nothing accumulated to delete.

Man I hope you're right ... I got (here late...) the same History Already Off message also.

@mouser - Thanks for the heads up ... But in the future can you put stuff like that in a full screen kiosk mode popup window? ...So us slower kids don't miss it. :D

Let me ask if this could be the reason I didn't see the clear history choice?
Do they only collect history info when you are logged on to your Gmail account?
The only reason I have an account is it was required by Verizon when I had an Android phone. The only time I log onto it is to see if I have any mail on the account or modify some contacts I keep there for my BB phone. And always log off when I'm done. I never search the web when logged in to my account.
