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).

  • 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.

  • 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 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 can I disable awesomebar search/keyword suggestions on FF 3.6?

    I am on FF 3.6. I'm trying to find a way to disable the AwesomeBar search/keyword suggestions. I have gone through tools -> options -> privacy -> location bar. I have tried setting the location bar set to show only history, bookmarks, or even none, but it still shows keyword search suggestions. How can I disable this?
    I have also tried from about:config, setting maxrichresults to 0. Again, that is not what I'm looking for. I want it to show history and bookmarks, but I do not want keyword search suggestions.

    I'm pretty sure the poster doesn't want to disable the keyword search functionality. What they want is for keyword searches to work, but just not be displayed (or at least not displayed as the automatic first option) on the list of location bar suggestions when typing a new URL.
    In their words, "I want it to show history and bookmarks, but I do not want keyword search suggestions."
    That was how keyword search bookmarks worked in FF3.5, if I recall, and I too would like that behavior back. I haven't found any way to train the awesomebar to not show me keyword search bookmarks.
