You can specify the date to export, so could step back exporting batches until you've got everything.

Doesn't work for me:
export.rb:1:in `require': no such file to load -- mechanize (LoadError) from export.rb:1
edit: nvm, installed libwww-mechanize-ruby and it's working fine.

You can try this bookmarklet to download the full history: http://geeklad.com/updated-script-to-download-google-history
I have close to 45k searches over 7 years, would love to keep that data and mine it myself.
