Question

How do you keep recently searched items from popping down when you are doing an internet search?

Answer 1

you need to clear your 'saved form' history. If you have mozilla 2 as your browser you can go to TOOLS>CLEAR PRIVATE DATA.if you use Internet Explorer, you really need to change. they work similar but Mozilla isnt as bugged as IE, and isnt as easy to exploit.

you can remove it on IE,but I wouldnt trust it.

Answer 2

   To clear your search history and prevent it from being saved in the future follow these steps:

   If you use Internet Explorer, click the "Tools" link at the top of the window then select "Internet Options". Click on "Content" tab at top. Under "Personal Information" on the bottom half of the window click "Auto Complete". Uncheck "Web Addresses", "Forms" and "User Names & Passwords on Forms". That prevents the Search History from being kept. To erase what's already there then below that click the "Clear Forms" and "Clear Passwords" buttons. Then click on "OK", click "Apply" and click "OK" again to close the window and save your settings.

   If you are using Firefox, click "Tools", then "Options" then "Privacy" then "Saved Forms". Click "Clear Saved Forms" to erase the saved data then uncheck the box in front of "Save information I enter....." Click "OK" to close the window and save your settings.

   If you wish to delete recent searches from the Yahoo! Search box on the Yahoo! Toolbar, click the pencil icon to the left of the Search Box then click "Clear Recent Searches". If you are using the newest version of Toolbar with Internet Explorer and see no pencil icon you need to click the Toolbar settings icon to do this. It's to the right of the green + symbol and looks like the silhouette of a person in a gray square.
