How To Delete Google Search History
 

QUESTION:


Is there a way to "hide the evidence" of the terms I've searched for on Google?

 

ANSWER:

YES you can - but how to do it depends on how you do your Google searches.

If you search from the Google web site, the search terms that are saved in the dropdown box aren't saved by Google itself, but by your Web browser. If you use IE, this is saved as a "form" (like other forms that you fill out on the Web). To get rid of the contents of this drop-down list, do the following:

In Internet Explorer

1) click the Tools menu and select Internet Options...

2) Click the Contents tab.

3) Click the Auto Complete button.

4) Click the Clear Forms button.

PLEASE NOTE that this will clear the auto complete information saved by all Web forms, not just Google's!

If you use the Google toolbar on your browser, it's even easier. Just click the little down arrow on the toolbar right after the Google logo, and click Clear Search History.
