How do you clear recent searches from main bar so it does'nt show when you type in the first few lettes .?

Question

not from the yahoo search bar but from the main search bar where the address shows after search,how do you clear it.

Answer 1

Go to and click Tools. Scroll to and click Browser Options. Then scroll to history and click CLEAR URL'S then click Ok.

Answer 2

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 3

That is part of the autofill feature that can be turned off in options.

In IE go to internet options/ content/ autocomplete/ settings/ forms.

In Firefox go to options/ privacy/ history/ remember what I enter in forms and the search bar.

You can also delete the entries by double clicking on an empty box, drop down to the first item, and then press delete for each entry.
