how do i clear the search history drop down on my yahoo search page?

Answer 1

I know and I have some easy to follow steps:
However, if you wish to delete search history saved by the browser and auto-filled when you type on the yahoo website, here is the solution:

To clear your history from Internet Explorer:
1. Go to the "Tools" menu.
2. Select "Internet Options."
3. Click the "General" tab.
4. Click the "Clear History" button. To completely disable the history function, set "Days to keep pages in history" to zero.
To turn off this feature:
> Open an Internet Explorer page
> Go to tools
> Click on Internet options
> Click the content tab
> Then click the auto complete button, make sure you uncheck every thing in there.

To clear your history from Mozilla Firefox:
1. Go to the "Tools" menu.
2. Select "Options" > "Privacy" > "History."
3. Click on "Clear." To completely disable the history function, set "Remember visited pages for the last X days" to zero ("0").
4. Click "OK" to exit.
This will resolve it all :)

***********
These steps are if you have Yahoo! Toolbar:
If you want to remove all the entries in your search history right now, but you still want Yahoo! Toolbar to remember your searches in the future, do the following:

1. Click the Pencil menu.
2. Select "Clear Recent Searches".

If you want to save your recent searches while you're searching on the Web, but automatically clear the saved searches when you close your browser window, do the following:

1. Click the Pencil menu.
2. Select "Toolbar Options".
3. Select "Auto-clear recent searches when exiting IE" so there's a checkmark in the box next to it.
4. Click "OK".
If you want to disable the feature entirely so none of your searches are saved, do the following:

1. Click the Pencil menu.
2. Select "Toolbar Options".
3. Click "Remember Recent Searches" so there's not a checkmark in the box next to it.
4. Click "OK"
:)

Normally when you enter searches in the search box on yahoo search page. The search engine stores COOKIES on your system which contains your searching history as well as your preferences.

In order to make sure that you clear your searching history on yahoo; you need to delete cookies from your browser.

To do this, follow the procedure for IE:-

Go to Tools-->Internet options

Press the button "Delete cookies" in Temporary Internet files box.
