Google today announced that it has made Web History available in Arabic.
Users in the Arabic region will now be able to find websites they have visited in the past quickly and easily (browsing the entire text of these pages), as well as edit or delete items they want removed from their web history.
To take advantage of this new feature, users must have a Google account and then opt into the service.
Today's launch is part of a wider Google initiative to give people more relevant results and greater control. By opting in to Web History, users will enable Google to provide them more personalized, targeted results. For example if someone's web history shows that they are more interested in science than cars, when they search for 'GM', Google will rank genetically modified food higher than General Motors in its results.
Web History is as personalized as a user wants it to be. If someone's history, for example, contains queries they would rather keep private, Google enables them to edit, pause or delete these items. Users can opt out of Web History at any time.
Sep Kamvar, Engineering Lead of Personalization, said: 'Have you ever lost something on the web that you've enjoyed before - a funny video, a recipe for chocolate cake, a great newspaper article? Well from today that's a thing of the past. With Web History you'll be able to find it quickly, and from any computer. This new feature, which replaces Search History, lets you look back in time and revisit old sites - searching through all the pages you've seen in the past. It's part of our wider personalized search initiative to give people who opt in better results and more control'.
To use Web History, users must opt in to the service by signing up for a Google Account and must enable the PageRank feature™ of the Google Toolbar™. Toolbar, which is integrated into the browser, helps Google match the pages people visit with their Google Account.
Users already signed up to Search History will notice that Google has changed the name to Web History to reflect this new functionality.
