How clear search history Google?

How do I clear my search history in Google?
I think Safari alone keeps this, and it pollutes searches down the road. thanks.

Actually, the only "solution" would be for Apple to revert to the option to clear the search results from the Google search bar, which was in Safari 3.x.x. Since we have no idea whether or not they will in a future release, the two solutions I gave you will stop it from being written at all.
There is an entry for that in the Safari .plist file, but unless you know what you're looking for and have an editor to read display the file in text format, you can't get rid of that; even if you did, you'd still need to Lock the file to prevent it from being written back.
Locking your History file will also stop the History from being stored.
Those are the only options we have, so take your pick.

How can I fix the disabled -Clear Search History- in the Tools section?

I have a MacBook Pro and have just noticed that, as of today 2/15/13, the Form & Search History in the Tools, Clear Search History, section is often lightened/blurred over and its tiny box no longer able to be checked. More importantly, the Clear Search History -itself- is completely disabled and not working. I used it yesterday and it appeared to work fine. I've noticed that there are quite a few reports of this problem occurring with other users, but any and all those who have responded to these reports, with suggestions, are of no help whatsoever, to me, as I cannot understand them. Can someone who is able to give the proper effective advice do s in layman's terms so I can comprehend their instructions, please. :-) Thank you.

The problem recurred and after verifying I have no add-ons or extensions, since I don't even know what they are, much less know how to use them the "Safe Mode" process wouldn't solve the problem. But at least now i know that the "Clear Recent History," in the Tools tab, works intermittently, but just not consistently. And the "Form & Search History" with tiny box next to it is unchecked and inaccessible (blurred over) sometimes, then appears accessible and check marked on other occasions. A very strange phenomenon...
I have a Mac OS X 10.7.5 system and have no idea where to find the "Profile" to implement the other possible fixes. I am not well enough versed in the technical aspects of this computer to even attempt the frustrating and tricky task of deleting files I haven't a clue where to find unless someone can take me through the process step by step in layman's terms.
There is either a bug in Firefox 19.0, which is very possible considering there are quite a few people who have reported this problem, or perhaps my last update somehow didn't download properly. Is it necessary to trash my current 19.0 version in order to download Firefox, again, or would another download of the same version override the current one?
I'd like to see if that works to resolve the problem, but the first time I tried, a file that I couldn't open ended up on my desktop and I had to move it into the trash, not knowing what else to do with it. It didn't even show up in the trash when I did that???!!! Please provide easy to follow instructions on how to perform the downloading of another 19.0 version to replace my current one. Perhaps that will work. Thanks! :-)

How to clear search history AppStore

How to clear search history in AppStore

What do you mean exactly. Just tax the X in the search field. If you tap the empty search field and it still takes you back to the last search that you performed, close the App Store completely, and then come back and tap the X and that should clear the search history.
Double tap the home button and look for the App Store in the multitasking screen, then drag the app thumbnail preview up off the top of the screen to close the app.

The "Clear Search History" feature in the upper right drop-down menu no longer works in Firefox 4.

The "Clear Search History" feature in the upper right drop-down menu that shows search terms no longer seems to work in Firefox 4.

It is possible that there is a problem with the file that stores the "Saved Form" data. 
Rename or delete formhistory.sqlite (plus formhistory.sqlite-journal and formhistory.sqlite.corrupt and formhistory.dat, if they exist) in the [http://kb.mozillazine.org/Profile_folder_-_Firefox Profile Folder] in case there is a problem with the file that stores the "Saved Form" data. 
This will remove all saved form data, so you may want to rename formhistory.sqlite to formhistory.sqlite.sav or move the file to another folder in case you need to recover some saved data.
You may also need to delete search.sqlite and search.json in the [http://kb.mozillazine.org/Profile_folder_-_Firefox Firefox Profile Folder]

I have 3 computers and one has the "clear search history" line greyed out. I can't get this to work.

# Question
I have 3 computers and one has the "clear search history" line greyed out. I can't get this to work.

Is Tools > Options > Privacy > History: "Remember search and form history" enabled?
If that is disabled then there is nothing saved and nothing to delete. 
You still see suggestions in the drop down list if showing suggestions is enabled.

Clear search history

Is there a way to clear search history in ML without clearing your browsing history in Safari?

I don't think so. It uses your browser history.

The 'Clear search history' button in mygoogle search box is not working; it doesn't clear the searches. I can clear them by going to the firefox tools 'Clear recent history' button. Why is this? How to fix it please.

Start Firefox in [[Safe Mode]] to check if one of the extensions is causing the problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Firefox (Tools) > Add-ons > Appearance/Themes).
* Don't make any changes on the Safe mode start window.
* https://support.mozilla.com/kb/Safe+Mode
If it does work in Safe-mode then disable all extensions and then try to find which is causing it by enabling one at a time until the problem reappears.
* Use "Disable all add-ons" on the [[Safe mode]] start window to disable all extensions.
* Close and restart Firefox after each change via "File > Exit" (Mac: "Firefox > Quit"; Linux: "File > Quit")
* [[Troubleshooting extensions and themes]]

How to restore search history tabs; disappeared after I cleared search history; can't restore tabs!

I recently cleared my search history - I deleted everything - but now my search history tabs (that were generated after each search) have disappeared, and I can't restore them no matter what I do. Also, under "History", "restore previous session" and "recently closed windows" are gray, and so can't be selected. I've "reset" Firefox to "default" status twice to no avail...help! I need those tabs!

Make sure that you do not run Firefox in (permanent) Private Browsing mode.

*Tools > Options > Privacy: Use custom settings for history
*Deselect: [ ] "Always use private browsing mode"

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.

Clear history also clears search history

I've finally "upgraded" (if you would call it that) to Safari 5. After figuring out how to disable "top sites", I was almost happy (other than several crashes per day). One REALLY irritating thing is that when I clear my browsing history, my search history is also cleared. Is there a way to clear these two histories independently? Often I want to clear my browsing history but like my search history there to remind me of stuff.

HI,
You can clear history Manually from Safari / Preferences - General but not independent of one another.
There might be a productivity Safari Extension available though...

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.
