Deleting facebook search history in Safari

I'm not able to delete my facebook search history in Safari.  Can anyone help?  I've tried clearing history, cache, cookies, etc.
Thank you!

Ok...maybe preferences are corrupted...
Go to ~/Library/Prerferences
Move the com.apple.Safari.plist file from the Preferences folder to the Desktop.
Quit then relaunch Safari, go to the menu bar click History > Clear History
If that helped, move the .plist file from the Preferences folder to the Trash. If not, just move it back to the Preferences folder.
If you don't want history saved when you visit Facebook, go to the Safari menu bar click Safari > Private Browsing

  • How to delete google search history in safari on itouch ?

    Hi All !
    I would like to know how I can delete the google search history in safari?
    Thanks

    I just found the answer somewhere else in the forum - it worked for me.
    Clear it while in Safari by going to bookmarks, then "History," and then the "Clear" button in the bottom left.

    What do you mean by "reset"?
    What "search history" you want to delete?

  • How can I get rid of search history in Safari on my iPad?

    When I highlight one to delete, the search kicks in. How can I get rid of the history?

    You can go to Settings>Safari>Clear History, cookies and data and then delete every bookmark and that should clear it temporarily, but it will only be temporary. As soon as you starting using the search again, then suggestions will appear again.
    I think that I may have misread your question - if you want to clear all of the history - use the Clear History button in the upper right corner of the History window. You cannot delete one item at a time.

  • Clear Google search history from Safari Toolbar (v.4.0.3 and up)

    How to clear your search history. TEDIOUS but works.
    *Delete Google results pages from the history*
    In Safari 4.0.3 and up, you may now search your history. Search for the URL string www.google.com/search? and delete the records that match it.
    *Clear the search strings from the toolbar*
    Quit Safari then from the Terminal, run this command:
    defaults delete com.apple.safari RecentSearchStrings
    When you start Safari again, the search history should be empty.
    Somebody could probably build a shell script that searches the History.plist XML file and deletes the <dict> sections AND resets the Safari plist at the same time. I'm not that good with string manipulation, so I'm hoping somebody with experience could pick this up. Then that shell script could be made into an AppleScript or set up with Automator. Wishful thinking?

  • I am unable to delete Form & Search History (it's greyed out as an option to be deleted under the clear recent hisotry tab) help!

    my son has used my computer to visit porn websites and I want to delete the Form and Search history so the drop down with these sites is eliminated. The instructions said to go to History > clear recent history and then chose Form and Search history, but it won't allow me to choose this (it's greyed out). How do I do this?

    I found this link for a similar problem someone had with a Lotus Notes account. I used it to resolve my issue with a different email account (basically followed the same steps, and then looked for the particular account I needed to delete)... hope it helps!

  • Disable Google search history in Safari

    Is there a way in Safari on a 3GS to disable storing search history? Every time I select the search box, I am presented with a list of several weeks worth of searches. I know I can clear the history if you access Settings-->Safari-->Clear History but I don't want to do that continually.

    You could try a different browser like Privately:

  • Deleting part of history in Safari

    When using Safari, I find that I want to delete some items in my history (e.g. 5 items out of 10).
    Instead of clearing all history. How do I do this? Any help would be appreciated.
    Marta

    Dear Friends,
    Just by accident, I solved my own problem about deleting only part of my history in Safari. I clicked on “show all bookmarks,” then clicked on “history” and deleted only the items I wanted. To anyone who tried to help me with the answer, thank you but it won’t be necessary.
    Aloha,
    Marta

  • How do I clear search history from Safari

    hhow do I clear. Search history from Safari

    While you are on the Safari page click the open book icon on the top left. This is the bookmarks tab and you will see history listed. Click it and you have the options of removing recent or all your search history. If you want to clear out everything in Safari you can go to settings and click Safari and scroll down to clear history and website data. This clears out saved passwords and search history. Your saved bookmarks are not affected. Hope this helps.

  • Unable to clear Google search history in Safari

    I am unable to clear old searches in Safari.  None of the following has any effect: using the clear recent searches button, totally resetting Safari, deleting all history and cache and trying to delete each individual search item manually, or by changing default search method.  These are old items, not recent searches, but they continue to show up in the recent search area.  It appears to be a bug.  Any ideas how to REALLY clear out the search cache?
    THANKS

    Seem to have finally fixed it by deleting the safari plist entry.

  • No Cover flow for Search History in Safari 6.1

    Just upgraded to Safari 6.1 and can't search my history using the visual (coverflow) method anymore? I use that all the time here at work. Please tell me there's a way to get it working again, because looking at a page full of URLs does NOT help!

    Cover flow is gone and there is no option to turn it back on (as far as I have found).  It should be an option for those of us that used it.  Here may be an alternative way though to get the screenshots from your browsing history.  Go to the Finder's Spotlight (upper right magnifying glass).  Click on it and type your history search there.  One section will include the Webpages you have visited that meet those search keywords.  If you hover your pointer over a Webpage result you will get a screenshot of the page.  What I am not sure of however is whether it is a cached copy (like Coverflow) or whether it is a live view of the webpage.  If this a live view then someone please send a feature request to Apple to give us the option of Coverflow (even if it comes with a disclaimer that it will slow down Safari).

  • How do you clear the Google pull-down search history in Safari?

    On the earlier Safari there was a "Clear Searches" option in the pulldown fromt he Google search field. It's gone with the new Safari. Any help is appreciated!

    Thanks, Golden Shoes. Too bad that's necessary; I kinda like saving the History, just wanted to unclutter the pull-down. Oh well.
