Question

How to delete the history from web search?

Answer 1

In Firefox, hold your mouse over what you want to delete from the drop down menu (or, alternatively you can just press the "down" key until you get to what you want) - then hold down SHIFT and press the DELETE key.

If you want to delete your whole history on any given website, just hold down SHIFT + DELETE until it is all gone.

I think the method may be similar in Internet Explorer or Safari or other browsers as well.

Answer 2

On Internet Explorer 7:

To delete website browsing, go to tools, and then go to "internet options". Once Internet Options opens, make sure you're at the "general" tab, then go to the browsing history section and press delete.

Another window should pop up and go to "History" and just press delete.

To delete search history, do the same thing, but instead of pressing "History" on the second window, click on  "Temporary Internet Files".

Hope that helps. If you don't really get it, youtube explains it well. Click on the "sources" link.

Answer 3

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.
