How to restore Google search history?

Man, I totally wiped everything with CCleaner and completely blanked on the fact that I left some super important stuff in my browser history. How the hell do I get that history back? This is a massive emergency.

I tried doing it that way first, but now the computer is throwing a fit and telling me my protection system is disabled. Seriously?! How am I supposed to turn the damn thing back on?

So I tried that third method, right? But now I'm totally stuck—how the hell am I supposed to unpack this history file? Like, what kind of program am I even supposed to use to actually open the thing?

Tried all that junk, but honestly? Total waste of time. Nothing I actually need showed up—I wasn't even logged into my account while browsing, so nothing got saved. There's Data Recovery, sure, but everything comes with a massive price tag. I managed to dig up some history on there, but even if I shelled out the cash, it’s just old, outdated versions anyway... plus, I don't even know what kind of payment methods they take.

There is Data Recovery available, but everything comes with a price tag. I managed to find some history on there, but even if I were to pay, it looks like an older version, and I'm not even quite sure how they handle payments.

Oh, come on now! It’s not the end of the world, I promise. I'm sure you'll stumble upon plenty of other adult content that you'll enjoy just as much.

I wasn't even looking for it.
I actually stumbled upon the whole thing through my Facebook activity history—it was just sitting there—plus I managed to dig up a few more bits from memory while I was poking around.
