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.

I have Safari on an HP desktop running Windows 7, 64-bit. When I want to clear the history from Safari, the "Reset Top Sites Also" button is always checked. This can cause problems. Any way to have it unchecked all the time?

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.

How do I clear call history from a 6500A Printer?

I am upgrading to a new HP printer and want to donate my 6500A, but need to clear the call history first. There was a tool to clear fax log, but how do I clear call history? I checked after clearing the fax log, and all the phone numbers are still listed in the call history.
Maybe a better question is whether I can reset to factory defaults, clearing all settings/history?
This question was solved.
View Solution.

As it turned out, I contacted HP by phone and received excellent help.
There is a subset menu that can be found when you tap the 'back' icon... the icon on outside the lit display that does not show up until you tap it. They had me find the appropriate page and do a 'partial reset'. That brings the printer back to the page where the next time it is turned on, it will ask for all of the original set-up questions and all memory is deleted. I have therefore been able to donate the machine to the local Women Helping Women organization with no concerns that I may also have donated a list of contacts! Thanks to HP for the excellent customer service!

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 Browsing History from CommandLine in Windows XP / Windows 7 / And Fedora

ok, Here is the reasoning and Scenario.
Thousands of PC's in a corporate environment, All using a web based application so cache's fill up fast.
Most of these are at remote offices with users not able to navigate back end controls, ie they only know how to use what they are shown.
Plus the browsers rarely if ever get closed so the empty on close option does not get a chance to work.
I can for IE users setup a script in scheduled tasks to clear the IE cache files, but I need FireFox options for Windows and Fedora, as we are transitioning to FireFox and in some cases even off the windows platform.

Maybe set browser.cache.check_doc_frequency to 1. That will cause it to check with the webserver each time to see if it is different from the cache. If that doesn't work, network.http.use-cache to false will ignore the cache, which will really hurt performance overall.
The better option is to have the web server set a no-cache (or very short expiration) header on the javascript files, or other server-side tweaking. Although, strictly speaking, it doesn't make sense that caching of javascript files is a problem unless you're doing development. In a production setting, there should be nothing wrong with caching of javascript. If the javascript is changing as the app runs, the web server should either be setting no-cache, or the javascript should be given a different name, perhaps appending a session number, etc.

HT204266 How do you clear search feature in apps store?

How do I clear search history in apps store. I clear the search box, type in what I am looking for and it always goes back to the last app I downloaded.

If you tap on the X in the search field that should clear the search. When you type in the new app name and hit search on the keyboard it takes you to the last app that you downloaded?
Quit the app store completely and restart the iPad. Go to the home screen first by tapping the home button. Double tap the home button and the task bar will appear with all of your recent/open apps displayed at the bottom. Tap and hold down on any app icon until it begins to wiggle. Tap the minus sign in the upper left corner of the app that you want to close. Tap the home button or anywhere above the task bar. Restart the iPad.
Restart the iPad by holding down on the sleep button until the red slider appears and then slide to shut off. To power up hold the sleep button until the Apple logo appears and let go of the button.
Or ....Reboot the iPad by holding down on the sleep and home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider - let go of the buttons.

How does one remove temporary files from Safari? A friend logged on to her Facebook account using my iMac. Now I can't remove her e-mail address from Facebook. It was suggested to me that I try clearing temporary files from Safari but I can't find

How does one remove temporary files from Safari? A friend logged on to her Facebook account using my iMac running Mac OSX 10.7.5 and Safari 6.1.6. Now I can't remove her e-mail address from my computer. When I open Facebook her address shows in the user button. I do not have a Facebook account. It was suggested to me that I try clearing temporary files from Safari but I can't find anything that tells me how to do this. Are temporary files the same as the cache? It also was suggested that I try clearing Safari cache. How do I do that?

Check Safari/Preferences/Passwords to see if the Facebook account is there. If so, select it and remove it. If you are still having problems, Safari/Preferences/Advanced - enable the Develop menu, then go there and Empty Caches. Quit/reopen Safari and test. If that doesn't work, Safari/Reset Safari.

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.

How to automatically clear search-bar history?

Hello,
Is there a FF built-in feature or an addon to periodically clear the location bar history (which seems to be separate from the location bar history)?.
As above, is there a way to erase only certain searches from the search-bar history, for example those which match a pre-defined pattern?
Thanks.

Don't right-click on the icon, right-click on the search box, this way you can "Clear Search History".
