Google Search History becomes Google Web History

Google Web History
While Google's renaming things, the search giant has gone and changed its search history feature to Google Web History.

With the new name comes a nifty new feature: search your web history. Got a phrase stuck in your head and can't remember where you read it?

You'll need a Google Account and the Google Toolbar with PageRank enabled to play.
