Like your Google search box history, the search history that displays in the address bar on the Google homepage is stored by your browser, not by Google.

4. Click "OK" to exit.

If you're using the Microsoft Network (MSN), changes made in Internet Explorer (IE) will take effect in your MSN browser. After making changes in IE, you'll need to sign out of and back into MSN for the changes to take effect.

Mozilla Firefox
1. Go to the "Tools" menu.
2. Select "Options" > "Privacy" > "History."
