The User Guide says otherwise:
Site history
NetSurf records all the web sites you have visited as part of its
global history feature. Entries can be deleted from the global
history window directly and NetSurf allows the length of time
items are kept in global history to be configured.
Duration
This option can be used to set the length of time entries are
stored in global history, before they are deleted. Setting the
duration to zero days turns off the global history feature.
