"You can download all of your saved search history to see a list of the terms you've searched for. This gives you access to your data when and where you want," informs Google.

"When you download your past searches, a copy of your history will be saved securely to the Takeout folder in Google Drive. You can download the files to your computer if you want a copy on your computer."

The email displays the search history as JSON files organized chronologically by quarter. These can be downloaded as zip files to a desktop.
