Question

How do I clear out the "auto fill" when I type something in the search field?

Answer 1

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.

This works with any browser. To clear the search history from the search bar menu on Yahoo! or Google pages, double click the search bar, this will make a menu drop down with your searches, put your cursor on what you want to delete to highlight it, hit the delete button on your keyboard. If you want to delete everything just hold the delete button down until everything is deleted.

To clear the search history on Yahoo! Toolbar, click the blue down arrow on the right side of the search bar and on the top of the drop down menu click Options and click Clear Search History.
