Chrome extension History API not working properly?

Question

I am creating my first Chrome extension, the extension will allow user to enter a search term and that search term will searched through the browser history and the results will be shown, after which the user can delete the results by clicking on a delete button. Here is my code -

window.onload = function() {
function getHistory() {
  var div = document.getElementById('all');
  var search = document.getElementById("search").value;
  if (search === '') {
    div.innerHTML = '';
    div.innerHTML = div.innerHTML + 'Nothing To Search.';
  }
  else {
    var microseconds = 1000 * 60 * 60 * 24 * 365 * 45;
    var start = (new Date).getTime() - microseconds;
  chrome.history.search({text: search, startTime: start, maxResults: 200}, function(data) {
    if(Object.keys(data).length === 0) {
    div.innerHTML = '';
      div.innerHTML = div.innerHTML + 'Nothing Found.';
    }
    else {
      div.innerHTML = '';
        data.forEach(function(page) {
        div.innerHTML = div.innerHTML + '<p>'+page.title+'</p> <a href='+page.url+' target="_blank"><p>'+page.url+'</p></a> <br>';
    });
    document.getElementById('delete').onclick = deleteHistory;
  }
});
  }
}

function deleteHistory() {
  var search = document.getElementById("search").value;
  var microseconds = 1000 * 60 * 60 * 24 * 365 * 45;
  var start = (new Date).getTime() - microseconds;
  chrome.history.search({text: search, startTime: start, maxResults: 200}, function(data) {
    var div = document.getElementById('all');
    data.forEach(function(page) {
        chrome.history.deleteUrl({url: page.url}, function() {
          div.innerHTML = '';
          div.innerHTML = div.innerHTML + 'All Clear!';
        });
    });
});
}

document.getElementById('get').onclick = getHistory;
}

So far everything is working, except when i delete history, it is deleted but it still shows in browser history. Please tell me what am i doing wrong? Also is there anything else that i could have improved in the code? Thank you.

So this is a bug with chromium and it is already reported here - https://code.google.com/p/chromium/issues/detail?id=395955 . The bug is still not fixed, so unfortunately nothing can be done about this issue right now.
