Delete your Internet History

or delete your Google Search History.

[go to google.com and sign in to see your personal search history, from there you can delete history]

What browser are you using? Clearing the browser search history is a different process for different browsers.

Spot on with the browser bit - you can also right click the search term and press delete - or you can stop making searches that you don't want to be found out for doing LOL Believe it or not, that is why the system is difficult to clear, it's so bosses can check PC's after you've left the building. Also, even after you have deleted them, they will still show on SE's like Mamma (Teoma) and a few others. Be careful what you search!!!

span style="font-family: monospace;"Well.....lol, I'm just trying to delete everything.brCause when the previous searches pop up I have to click away and all again and it really begins to annoy me. If you type something and press enter you will not search what you've typed, but the history search that was selected...brbrI'm using Firefox btwbrbrEdit: Ah finally I went to extra-options-privacy-saved documents and turned the only option there off. Difficult to translate, I have a dutch version...br/span

In Firefox, you'd go to Tools (on the toolbar, naturally); Options; Privacy; Saved Forms tab, and click the button to clear the saved form data.

In IE you go to Tools >> Internet Options >> Content >> Auto Complete >> Clear FormsTo turn off saving the options, go to:

In Mozilla Firefox:
Tools >> Options >>Privacy >> Saved Forms >> untick the checkbox

In Internet Explorer
Tools >> Internet Options >> Content >> Auto Complete >> Untick the checkbox for saving form data.
