How do i keep search bars from saving previous searches (i.e. it shows the history when I type)?

Question

When I type into text boxes (like the search bar on yahoo.com), it automatically pops up previous searches you used that begin with the letters you typed out (i.e. if I am typing in "soccer," it will show everything I searched about regarding soccer as a drop-down window). I do not want this! How do I stop it?

Answer 1

Internet Explorer at the top of browser got to tools, click options, click content, on the bottom personal information click auto complete, uncheck forms and whatever else yo don't want to save, also click clear forms now.


Mozilla, go to tools on the top of the browser click options, under privacy, click saved forms, uncheck the block that saves info entered on forms and in search bars. Also use the clear all forms button on the bottom... Hope this helped you......

Answer 2

Tools> Internet Options> Content> AutoComplete> Clear Forms

Answer 3

In Internet Explorer:
Go to Tools -> internet options
go to the Content tab and click AutoComplete
This will allow you to clear past entries and saved passwords.
It also allows you to turn this feature OFF.
To clear the auto entry for the address bar, go to the general tab and click Clear History.

Answer 4

First of all, stop looking up so much porn (or "soccer", as you called it) - but yeah, if you go to tools, internet options, there should be an option on the "Advanced" tab to stop it

Answer 5
