How do I clear the search history?

Question

Whenever I go to type a search into the search bar section of the Yahoo! website, a list of my previous search constantly appears. I want to get rid of this list and to keep it from appearing again. How do I clear the search history from the search bar on the Yahoo! site?

Answer 1

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 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"
