Question

Is there a way to delete the search history from the search box?

Answer 1

You need to clear the "cookies" or the bits that remember your searches and things, heres how:

On your browser toolbar at the very top you will see Tools just above the refresh button and the home button. Click it.

Select "Internet Options" from the pull-down menu.

Click the "General" tab on the top portion.

In the middle section, click the "Delete Cookies" button. A popup window will appear; press the "OK" button to delete the cookies.

After the cookies are deleted then click the Delete Files button next to that to delete all the Temp Internet Files on your computer that store all the websites you have visited.

To clear your History click the Clear History Button and all your recent activity on the internet will be deleted.

Click the "OK" button and you are done.

Answer 2

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

**Removal of items on your search bar**

On the right side of the bar before you get to the web search button click on the bar (you may have to click it a few times) will open a drop down box that will bring you at the front of items you searched for.

Place your mouse pointer over the first item and you will see it highlight. Do not click the item just leave your mouse where it is and hit the delete button on your keyboard. The item will vanish and the next will take its place and become highlighted. Just keep hitting the delete button and watch them go away.

This will work for any browser.
