I was checking the Club World Cup results on Google but realized I was logged into my school account. When I looked at my search history, I saw that saving history was turned off, but automatic deletion wasn't set up. I'm curious, can my school see what I searched for?

Yeah, if you're using your school account, they can generally see your searches. It's not just about the history saving settings—since it’s a school account, they have some visibility into your activity.
I thought Google said they can only see it if you're connected to their Wi-Fi. So what's the deal?
It's true that when you're logged into a school account, they usually can access your search history, especially if you were on their Wi-Fi. But if your history saving is off and you're on another network, they might not have access.
Right, but it all comes down to the network you're on. If it's not their connection, you should be fine.
Seems like a lot of schools have policies about using accounts for personal browsing. Just be careful!
But I heard that if we're not connected to the school Wi-Fi, they can't track our search history. Is that true?
