How can you REMOVE Web History Search Results? Because, whenever I'm looking for something, I get thousands of Web History Search Results that I can't seem to remove, see below:

How the heck do I make it so GD never searches for Web History unless I tell it to?

Thanks,

If you slick on "desktop preferences" to the right of the search field on that page you will at the top a section called "search type" and one of the option is web history. Uncheck that option and google will no longer display the webhistory. But it is my understanding that it still does the search, it just doesn't display it.

And, if you just want to delete the web history search results, first click on "Remove From Index" at the upper-right of the page. Then check the ones that you want to remove and click on "Remove". That should do. And, if you don't want Desktop to index web history, just do what hypotaxis said.

I only posted this because you didn't make it clear whether you want to remove the web history search results, or just not display them.
