How do I clear history so I don't see stuff in spot search

I'm using spot search to check for some specific search words, I.m picking up emails that have been deleted. Are these held in a cache or similar, if they are how do I clear it?

Hi pauljcarey,
I haven't seen a search history for Spotlight, but wonder if you have emptied your Mail Trash.  If you delete a message in Mail, it goes to a Trash folder which you can see by selecting your account under Accounts (portrait view, Mailboxes). Once you open the Trash for that account you can permanently delete the mail.

    I just installed Yosemite, now I can't clear history without clearing cookies. How do I clear  history and keep cookies?

    I think you guys make a great point, I too don't like how my cookies are erased when I clear history and have to use the go around. Just a reminder and I'm sure you all know, this is a user to user forum and Apple may or may not get to see your opinion. I think you should let them know. You can leave them feedback at the following url. https://www.apple.com/feedback/safari.html

  • How do I clear history while usins 5.0. Current article regards 4.0. no help

    How do I clear history using 5.0? current article regards version 4.0

    I see you are using a Linux distro, but please note the current Firefox release is now Firefox 11. What exactly are you trying to clear for instance:
    * History as shown in the History library
    * Results shown on location bar, originating from History
    * Cache entries
    * something else
    What is the article that you are reading ?
    * have you seen [[clear recent history]]<br/> (I recall minor changes in wording of menus but not too sure on which versions.)
    What version of Linux and what desktop are you using ? <br/>( I am using Ubuntu 11.10 with a Unity desktop and Firefox 11. )

    Hi Roger:
    Thanks for the reply.  I think I figured out the problem.  Apple has confused (at least in my mind) the different IDs that people can have.  In the iCloud settings, they use the term Apple ID and not iCloud ID.  I guess there really is no such thing as an iCloud ID.  There are Apple IDs with various attributes.  This is not clearly explained or easy to see (how could I look up to see if my Apple ID is associated with iTunes for example?).
    I created, what I thought were iCloud IDs for each family member, but we all use my Apple ID for iTunes.
    One other question - why does the syncing of Notes using iCloud require an @me.com email account.  That makes no sense to me.
    Thanks for your help!

  • How do I clear the "drop down menu" of past titles I have searched for?

    How do I clear the drop down menu of titles that have been searched for in the past? Example; If I type in a word such as craig, then craigslist appears in the drop down menu, how do I clear this?

    Use these steps to remove saved (form) data from a drop-down list:
    #click the (empty) input field on the web page to open the drop-down list
    #highlight an entry in the drop-down list
    #press the Delete key (on Mac: Shift+Delete) to remove it.

  • My keyboard (wired) has lost functionality on the music PLAY/PAUSE, FORWARD and BACK, and VOLUME KEYS. They do NOTHING. All else is fine. How can I reassign them correctly? (Don't see those functions listed with System Settings/Keybard shortcuts).

    Crayolla,
    Try doing a SMC and PRAM resets. Sometimes it takes 2-3 attempts for them to work so be a little persistent if they fail the first time.
    SMC RESET
    Shut down the computer.
    Unplug the computer's power cord and all peripherals.
    Press and hold the power button for 5 seconds.
    Release the power button.
    Attach the computers power cable.
    Press the power button to turn on the computer.
    PRAM RESET
    Shut down the computer.
    Locate the following keys on the keyboard: Command, Option, P, and R. You will need to hold these keys down simultaneously in step 4.
    Turn on the computer.
    Press and hold the Command-Option-P-R keys. You must press this key combination before the gray screen appears.
    Hold the keys down until the computer restarts and you hear the startup sound for the second time.
    Release the keys.

  • How do you clear history?

    How do clear the history from the Firefox browser?

    In the Firefox browser for Android, you can use the "Clear Private Data" button in the preferences, but this will remove your bookmarks and passwords and other settings as well as your history.
    Or you can use one of these add-ons to clear only the history:
    * https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/mobile/addon/clear-mobile-history/
    * https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/mobile/addon/cleary/
    We plan to add more options for clearing history in the future. To help us improve Firefox, can you let us know how often you clear your history, and why?
