This was a problem long ago that seemed to go away, but it's happening again. Not every time, but often when I perform a Google search from the URL "smart" field, that search doesn't show up in my browsing history. No idea when or why this happens.
Any ideas?
Initiate a search from "Google search", not from Safari smart search field.
Click "Settings" at the bottom right corner of the page.
Select "Search settings" from the window that pops up.
Search Settings > Google instant predictions
Select " Never show instant results".
Now Google search from smartsearch field will be shown in the history.
Keep a record of this, incase if you want to change it back.

So how is having instant results turned on keeping the search from showing in the browsing history? Is this a Safari bug or some Google trickery?
Not a Safari bug.
Nope, I turned this off and Safari is still not showing my google searches in its history.
You might want to start your own post since this one is from last year. A new post would be much more visible. You can link to this one.
