How do I disable the "search history" of Yahoo?

Question

I would like to keep my internet surfing private.

Answer 1

IE6: Tools > Internet Options > Content > AutoComplete > Clear Forms. This will clear out ALL your autocompleted forms, such as search windows, form fill-ins, etc. You can also reset your Auto-Complete options here. Other browsers have something similar, you just need to find it!

Or, to delete just a single (or a few) searches, just have them highlighted in the drop-down list and hit DELETE -- they will vanish! If you hold down the key, the whole drop-down list of searches will delete.

If you are using the Yahoo! Toolbar, I believe there is a drop-down box at the end of the search window that has the option to CLEAR SEARCHES on it.

BTW, clearing your history, as some people may suggest to do, only clears out the PAGE locations that you have recently visited, NOT the searches!!

Answer 2

Click on tools, general settings, history and temp files, settings, set history to zero and click on apply.

Answer 3

if you double click the search box and the past searches come up move your mouse over the first one and press DELETE until they all dissappear...thats the only way to know how to get rid of them,you'll probably have to keep doing that everytime you search something because theres no way to keep them from saving the past searches

Answer 4

Click tools above and enter inet options. Next to clear history set the number of days to save history to zero. It should not save any. Use clear history to delete the current list.
