How do I clear my searching history?

I tried resetting Safari, clearing my cache, and clearing the history, but after I do all this it still tries to auto-fill when I type something in the search field in Yahoo. How do I delete everything I've typed in a search field?

Thanks for the and Aloha from Big Island.

  • 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.

  • 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.

  • How do I clear Google search history?

    Using Safari 7.0.3 on MacBookPro. Recently upgraded to OSX 10.9.3
    Comined address and search bar.
    It's annoying to see past search results as I'm secretly planning a trip with my husband and he's starting to notice my hotel queries...

    From the Safari menu bar click Histroy > Clear History
    Or, use Private Browsing. Back to the menu bar click Safari > Private Browsing

This may help others??

  • I am unable to clear Bing search history. Bing says this is an issue with Firefox.

    I recently found that I was able to clear my Bing.com search history with the exception of five searches all done on one day. Attempts to clear give this message "We can't clear your search history right now. Please try again later." Nor am I able to clear the searches individually.
    Bing customer service suggested it was related to Firefox. I uninstalled Firefox and opened the site with another Browser. No change.
    Any suggestions as to how to deal with this problem.

    So both browsers you tried give the identical error message that Bing is unable to clear the history right now? It does sound like a Bing problem in that case.
    Note: I assume this is history on the Bing website, and not Firefox's search bar or a Bing toolbar.

  • 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?

  • How do I clear the browsing history on my iPad?

    How do I clear the browsing history on my iPad 2?

    Settings > Safari > Clear History (and Clear Cookies And Data if you want to clear them as well).
    If you also want to clear your search history (i.e. the words/phrases that you've typed in the search box) then you may also need to close Safari completely : from the home screen (i.e. not with Safari 'open' on-screen) double-click the home button to bring up the taskbar, then press and hold any of the apps on the taskbar for a couple of seconds or so until they start shaking, then press the '-' in the top left of the Safari app to close it, and touch any part of the screen above the taskbar so as to stop the shaking and close the taskbar.

  • How do I permanently disable search history in the Google search bar?

    In Firefox 3.6, left-clicking the drop-down arrow by the Google icon, then selecting "Manage Search Engines..." only allows you to disable Search Suggestions. Right-clicking the search bar only allows me to "Clear Search History".
    How do I PERMANENTLY disable search history when I type in the Google search bar?

    Disabling "Remember search AND form history" is not the correct solution in my case, what I need is Firefox to offer to split the option and disable "Search Bar History" while keeping "Form History" enabled.
    How can I do that?

  • I'm unable to clear my search history after many attempts with the firefox instructions as I'm unable to check the "Form and Search History" box for some reason

    I've tried several times to clear my search history without any success. I've been able to do so in the past, but this is the first time I've tried in a while and for some reason it will not let me check the box for "Form and Search History." Then sometimes it will let me check that box, but when I click "ok" to apply the clearing of the search history, nothing happens and it still remembers all my sites. At that point I try to clear it again and its back to not letting me check the "Form and Search history" box (I've gone through this cycle a few times). I tried looking through some of suggested articles that Firefox sent me too, but I don't know much about computers and just doing the things they seem talking about isn't working either. Please help, thanks!

    It seems to have worked itself out. Thanks anyway!

  • How do I DISABLE Safari search history function in iPhone4?

    How do I DISABLE Safari search history function in iPhone4?

    Thank you for the swift answer. I find it amazing that Safari/iPhone developers haven't considered such basic privacy/security issues. Can't help but wonder if it's a cultural thing (Americans and their curious views on the concept of privacy).

  • I am unable to clear "Form & Search History" because that option is not available. How do I unclick it?

    When I close Firefox, I clear everything except the "Form & Search History" which is greyed-out so I can't access it. Also, the options I can choose are not saved by Firefox.

    Start Firefox in [[Safe Mode]] to check if one of your add-ons is causing your problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Tools > Add-ons > Themes).
    See [[Troubleshooting extensions and themes]] and [[Troubleshooting plugins]]
