not sure if i'm at the correct forum subsection..

the google search app (hold home button and swipe up) hasn't been saving my past searches on the phone (xperia z). it has my searches on com, which is logged in to my gmail, but it doesn't have any of my searches when i use the app itself. i have turned on web history already. help? thanks.

e.g. i search "forum.mobilism.org" on my com. it turns up on the past searches for google search on my xperia z.
but if i search "mobilism.org" on my phone using google search, the next time i open it, i don't see mobilism.org on the past searches.

edit: my phone is connected to my gmail acc too lol.
