Searching in Edge web history is only limited to the past few days

When I try to search for a website that was registered in web history in Edge in the past, I can't get any results.

Edge's history page doesn't automatically reload past histories to include them in the search

 

this page: edge://history/all

needs to be able to actively get older web history entries from our Microsoft account to make the web history search actually practical and useful.

not only the past 2-3 weeks, but go back months.

 

sent feedback using feedback button on Edge, if you like the idea i encourage you to do the same, that will act like an "upvote" for this 

 

thank you

    Thanks for bringing this up and reporting. I have faced the same issue where if I want to search older history entries and encountered the same. Reported on my end as well.

  • Great suggestion, I am just really annoyed that they still have the edge://history but there is no other way to access that area without needing to the flyout menu. I love the flyout but I just prefer the other way. It was just much easier.

    Will send feedback,

    Have a great day 🙂

      If they fix the search, the flyout or the sidebar can easily replace that page
