In the search bar right next to the big G is an arrow. Click on it and a list of search topics opens up and at the bottom is something called "View History." Click on that and a small window opens up with your particular Google search topics. At bottom right, it says "clear history"-click on that.

Double right click on an empty search bar and when the list comes up highlight the previous search and press the delete button, the one that says delete not the arrow one.

Answer 8

In Internet Explorer

The search history that displays in the search box on the Google homepage is stored by your browser, not by Google. You can clear the history or disable this feature entirely by following these steps:

Go to the “Tools” menu
Select “Internet Options”
Select the “Content” tab
Within the “Personal Information” area, select “AutoComplete”
To clear the current history, click on “Clear Forms”
To disable this feature entirely, uncheck the “Forms” box
You can also delete individual entries from your search history by using the Down arrow key to highlight a previous search and then pressing the Delete key.

In Firefox

As with Internet Explorer, you can also clear the search history or disable the feature in Firefox.

Go to the “Tools” menu
Select “Options”
Select the “Privacy” tab
Within the “Saved Form Information” area:
To clear the current history, click on “Clear”
To disable this feature entirely, uncheck the “Save information I enter in web page forms and the search bar”
Another way to very quickly clear the search history is to place your cursor in the search box, right click and select “clear search history.” This is faster for on-the-fly clearing.

You can also delete individual entries from your search history by using the Down arrow key to highlight a previous search and then pressing the Shift-Delete key.

Deleting search history from the Google Toolbar

The Google Toolbar for Internet Explorer also retains the search history if you let it. Clearing the current search history or disabling the feature in the browser does not affect the Google Toolbar. You have to do it in the Toolbar separately.

To completely disable your Toolbar’s search history

Select the “Options” button on the Toolbar
Un-check the box next to “Drop-down search history”
To simply clear the current search history:

Click the Google logo to access the drop-down menu
Select the “Clear Search History” option
Deleting search history from the Googlebar Firefox extension

The Google Toolbar has not yet been written for Firefox, but there is an extension called Googlebar that provides a similar function. It also retains the search history. The difference is that it does not automatically place everything in a drop down list for the user to see. But, it is there to view with the click of a check mark at the right of the search box.

To completely disable Googlebar’s search history:

Click on the Googlebar logo at the left side of the bar
Select “Googlebar Options”
Select the Miscellaneous tab
In the “Save History” section, uncheck “Preserve the search history across browser sessions”
To simply clear the current search history:

Click the Googlebar logo
Select the “Clear Search History” option

This isn’t really related to the search boxes, but if you are using Google Desktop Search and you are interested in keeping things on your computer private, we have a must-read article in our archives entitled, “Keeping Private Matters Private in Google Desktop Search.”
