Erase Google Search History

I can't seem to figure out how to erase the google search history bar (where you fill in your search) without resetting all of Safari. Any suggestions? Thanks

Hi,
Safari preferences -> AutoFill -> (Other forms) -> Remove the ".google.com" entry.

How do you clear google search history

How do you clear google search history. I tried the clear history in settings and all the old searches are still there

In Safari, use the open book symbol to go to bookmarks. At the top of the list is "History", tap history and then tap the clear button on the bottom left of the screen. That clears the search history as well.

How to clear the Google search history

Does any one know how to clear the google search history, as you can clear your cache, history and cookies but not the google search history.

This has been asked and answered before. A forum search will turn up a few threads like this one:

Google search history not private?

Hello, I'm receiving my friend's google search history on my iPhone. The problem started about two weeks ago.
When the search history first appeared on my device, I realized it was hers.
First of all: she asked for my apple ID to download some apps on her first iPhone (whats'app and facebook) because she couldn't get an apple ID right away. Then she logged out. (i've also changed my password)
Then, I helped her create her apple ID, and she asked for my email address (outlook account) to set it as a secondary account to recover her password in case she lost it. (She's using a google account as a primary account).
When I received apple's e-mail, I didn't verified the account, because I was guessing that could have been the problem. (It didn't stop)
Another thing I did, was to share a personal hot spot with her,cause she didn't have internet access (i'm sure this is not the reason, but just in case...)
I don't understand why I'm able to see every single thing she googles, I find it annoying and also I feel like I'm invading her privacy, this should never happen!
Please, help me solve this!

Hi,
thank you very much. However, it did not work. But now I know, I should've been more accurate. Well, my problem is not with the google search field next the brosing field, but with my iGoogle engine. I know that Google has a private search history by account and I deleted all --- nothing happened. When trying to search something, I find keywords older than a month. Moreover, in fact, it is not just with Google but with any other sites where search is needed.
I simply don't know what to do! Any smart idea?

Google search history

Hi,
My problem is, that I simply can't figure out how to clear Google search history from Google search field. I tried reinstalling Safari but records still seem to occour and obviously tend to be stored at some other place on my computer than Safari's deafalt folder (as they remain). Other help suggestion including that one with some com.apple.Safary.plist did not particularly work, I s'pose cause I have Vista not Mac
Does anybody have some smart hints?
Please help! Thanx so much!

Getting someone else's google search history?

Hello, I'm receiving my friend's google search history on my iPhone. The problem started about two weeks ago, when she bought one, and because she couldn't get an apple ID right away, I gave her mine to download some apps, and logged out. When the search history first appeared on my device I realized it was hers, so I changed my apple id password (i guessed that could be the problem). That did not work, I'm still receiving the webs she visits, which I find so annoying. Also, I feel like i'm invading her privacy. I've seen other people have had this problem before, but I have not find out the reason, how can I solve this problem? Thank you! (We are both using Iphone 5s and have the latest iOS)

When she had access to internet, she created her apple ID, and she asked for my email adress to set it as an alternate address to recover her password in case she lost it. I didn't verified her account when I received the mail from apple.

SAFARI 6: how do I clear Google search history?

There used to be an option at the bottom of the scroll down search bar for CLEAR SEARCH.
Now that Safari 6 has adopted the single info bar, that option seems to have disappeared.
So how do I clear search history?
I don't want to clear all history (i.e. sites visited),
just search history.

Thank you,
but the point of my question was precisely that in 2012,
the way that Google is presented within Safari is different
(e.g., there is now just a single search bar),
so some of the info on the old threads is no longer relevant.
That is why I titled the qustion clearly "SAFARI 6".
However, I have discovered the answer myself.
I think I was being just too impatient.
The same option of CLEAR RECENT SEARCHES does come up
if you click and hold on the magnifying glass icon to the left of what is now the single Google search bar.
This click and hold opens a roll-down menu, and near the bottom is the CLEAR RECENT SEARCHES option.

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?

Removing Google Search History

Hello.
I use Google as my home page on Safari, and usually use it to direct my browser to where I would like to go. I have been a fan of Google remembering things that I've typed into my search bar, so that I only need to type a couple letters and I can select from the list.
However, I let my little brother use my computer for a bit, and he proceeded to type every pokemon's name he could remember into my google search bar, and proceed to other pages from there. Now, my google auto-suggest continues to suggest pokemon names whenever I type into it.
Is there any way that I can make Google forget things from the pull-down menu? I don't mind resetting all of it, if that's what has to be done.
Any help is appreciated. Thank you.

Hi
Welcome to Apple Discussions
Go back to your Google Home Page. In the upper right select "web history". If you are not logged in, the next screen will let you do that. In the Web History page you'll find options about history, including removal of some or all of the entries. Proceed from there.

How do I view my google search history

Is there anyway to see my recent searches done from the search engine box? Sometimes during research I need to quickly go back to google search results using the exact keyword term that I used,but many of the search terms are difficult to remember,it would be easier to see the last 10 or 20 keyword searches.

This may only work if you are signed into a Google account but the link to view the stored Google history is
https://www.google.com/history/
It will also keep track of history from your smart phone.

How to clear Google search history

HI,
Ever since I updated to 2.1 it has been impossible to clear my Google search terms. Clearing the cache, cookies, etc in 'settings' has no effect.
Does anyone know how to clear them?

I'd try a reboot just to see if it fixes the issue.
Try a reboot (described below).
Think of it this way, the iPhone is more of a computer than a phone. It suffers from being a new OS and nobody can deny there are not bugs and memory leaks. The longer left running, the more things start to fail or slow down (I have had the iPhone since day one of original phone and I am just speaking from my experience). Thus I equate it to like when Windows95 came out...not sure of your age or if you remember those days...but back then it was a running joke of how many days you can keep Windows 95 running before you had to reboot. I am sorry to say but the iPhone is the same way right now (but getting better with a few hiccups back during the 2.0 release). So for me, I reboot daily when I leave in the morning and take it off the charger. By doing so I rarely see any lag or problems.
A reset/reboot is:
Go to Home Screen
Press and Hold Home Button
Keep holding and press and hold Lock Button
Keep holding Both
You will see Slide to Turn Off (Don't let go to slide, just keep holding)
The phone will turn off (in time, but screen will look like it has some white lines)
Keep Holding
When you see the Apple Logo, you can let go.
Turning off via the Slide to Turn off while good and fine to turn off, is more like the Sleep Mode on a computer. Thus any locked up issues in memory remain when you turn back on. A reboot as described is like doing a real Turn off and Turn On on a computer.
You may also wish to read this tread about reboots and odd application behavior.

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.

Hello and Welcome to Apple Discussions.
You could try a different browser like Privately:

When I type in web searches, Firefox remembers them with a system similar to predictive text. How can I erase the search history list, because deleting the history with the organise tool doesn't work. Please help.

When I type in searches I don't want a box to appear under the search box trying to predict what I'm going to type next. Can I disable the system(prediction box) or erase the history list or both?

Thanks for the suggestion, but no effect, when I right click on the search bar all I get is; select all (which does nothing), add keyword to this search (which is the opposite of what I want) and add dictionary (again adding something). Do you have any other ideas? :)
