Note that if you use Safari and iCloud on an iPhone or iPad as well as another device, you will have other devices history to search through as well – even if it was not searched for on the current device. You can search through any search history on Safari on the iOS device, even history that is quite a bit older, as long as you (or the user) has not cleared Safari history on the device being searched. In the example above, I searched for “Charlie Rose” to track down an old interview I had watched on YouTube, and the video I was searching for was found immediately. If you tap on any searched history result, the page or site will immediately open in Safari. Type your search query term to search Safari browser history on the iOS device.At the top of the History section, tap into the “Search History” box.Choose the the book tab and go to the History section.From the Safari app on iPhone or iPad, tap the bookmarks / history button (it looks like an open book icon).How to Search Browser History on Safari for iPhone, iPadĪll modern versions of Safari in iOS have searchable history, here’s how it works: For example, if you knew you watched a web video somewhere about a topic like “Carl Sagan” but can’t quite remember what it was or where it was located on the web, you can search for that term and all history matching the search terms will be retrieved. This offers a fantastic tool to track down old web content that you may have a hard time finding on it’s own.
