How do I change the thing on Internet Explorer that has the drop down list on whatever I searched previously?

Question

Where do I go to change it so that I don't see it anymore? It has gotten annoying

Answer 1

The record of search history which appears in the search box on Yahoo! is actually a feature controlled by your browser, not Yahoo!

If you have Internet Explorer as your browser, you may stop the search history from being generated by following the instructions below:

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.

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.

A single item can be deleted by pressing the 'delete' key while the item is highlighted.

If you have Firefox as your browser, you may stop the search history from being generated by following the instructions below:

1. Select the the 'Tools' menu in Firefox.
2. Select 'Options', then select the 'Privacy' button, and then the 'Saved Forms' tab.

In the window you can click the 'Clear Saved Form Data Now' box to delete your current history, or you can uncheck the "Save Information' box to permanently stop the generation of the search history.

A single item can be deleted by pressing the 'shift delete' key while the item is highlighted.

Answer 2

here we go. Tools > Internet options > clear history. Do it each time you log off and your mum, wife, kids will not see where you've been surfing.

I sent an email to myself (in yahoo) that has links to all the dodgy sites i dont want people to know about. If you click on a link there it will not come up in the address bar
