Question

How can you delete search terms off a search engine?

Answer 1

You need to clear or disable Auto Complete. This saves all previous searches in your search bar. Here's how to fix the problem:

For Internet Explorer: Click on Tools. Then Internet Options. Click on Content and then Auto Complete. Then click on Clear Forms. This will erase your search history. If you don't want things showing up again in your search history then deselect the Auto Complete options at the top. Be sure to select apply or ok at the bottom.

Answer 2

You can clear your Saved Form and Search History.

Depending on what browser you're using go to Tools > Options and should be around there somewhere. :S

Answer 3

somewhere on your internet tool bar it should say tools....

click on tools & scroll down to internet options.

on the general tab it should say browsing history...

click on delete....& then select the types of things you'd like to delete....

hope that helps =]

Answer 4

Go to internet options and go to history, then delete forms data saved.

Answer 5

If your using Internet Explorer, go to tools, internet options, and click on delete cookies, as well as delete files, and clear history, this clears every website you have been to thats its recorded, as well as the things the website saves on your computer (not spyware), and deleting cookies should delete the search box with recent searches in the search engine

Answer 6

go to "Tools" and click "Options"

Then click on the "Privacy" section

mine has a lock with a big red - mark behind it

Then look down the list of things until you see one that says something like, "remember what I enter in forms and search engine"

Answer 7

Do you mean like Auto Fill? If that's what you mean then clear your history. I think you might have to manually delete  Save Form.  

If you are trying to exclude them from a search, use the advance search option, type in the exclude box the words you don't want to show up.
