How do you clear the searches?

Question

there are too many searches coming up under my search box. I want to know how to erase them.

Answer 1

It's in Internet Options, but clearing cookies & cache (temp files) doesn't erase your searches. Try the following:
1. Select the the 'Tools' menu in Internet Explorer.
2. Select 'Internet Options', then select the 'Content' tab.
3. Under Personal information, click on the 'AutoComplete' box.
4. On the AutoComplete Settings window you can click the 'Clear Forms' box to delete your current history, or you can uncheck the Forms box to permanently stop the generation of the search history.

Answer 2

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"
:)

Answer 3

Assuming you are talking about online search engines.

On your Internet Explorer, there is a Tools > Internet Options. In the general tab, Delete Cookies, Files & history. That should erase all of them

The only way to effectively clear your search history is to continue looking at and searching for porn websites, until your parents find out and have the computer recycled into an educational toy.
