How do you clear spotlight search history in mail?

I'd like to clear search history in Mac Mail.  How do I clear this history?

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.

    How do you clear google search history. I tried the clear history in settings and all the old searches are still there

  • 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 you clear the email history for addresses on the Z10 ?

    I would like to know how to delete the history of names on the BBZ10 please.
    You know like on outlook when you dont want an address to appear again you bring up the address and then highlight it and then hit the delete button and its gone from your history for good.
    Well how do you do it with BB's?
    I have email addresses that I have deleted from the contacts list and yet they still come up when i start to type up another email?
    Surely this must be a no brainer but I'm missing something.
    I used to have this same issue with my Torch and my 9800 before that.
    Does anybody know how to fix this problem for me please?
    I hope my explanation has been clear enough as well.
    Appreciate the solution greatly.
    thanks,

    #Go to Firefox > History > Clear recent history or (if no Firefox button is shown) go to Tools > Clear recent history.
    #Under "Time range to clear", select "Everything".
    #Now, click the arrow next to Details to toggle the Details list active.
    #From the details list, check ''Cache'' and ''Cookies'' and uncheck everything else.
    #Now click the ''Clear now'' button.

  • How do you clear the recent history list (as this function was lost in one of the last app updates )?

    Since this function was apparently lost in one of the last adobe reader app updates, how now are you supposed to clear the recent history, but retain the files on my nexus tablet?

    Hello,
    That explains why I am no longer able to clear the recent history list...
    I understand that removing/deleting the files from my device will remove the files from my list. However this in not ideal for me, as I would like to be able to go back and look at the papers that I have previously read and then be able to clear the recent list. Also, if I can clear the list without removing the files from my device, I can keep track of what I have recently read, and move those files into a second folder on my device to say that I have read the papers at least once. That way I would still have the papers on my device but can clear the list and know that I have read the papers. Thus I really would like a way to clear your history from the recents list, ideally with the option of clearing individual files from the list, as well as a second option to clear all files from the recent list, while retaining the original files on the device.
    Thanks and have a good day,
              Trevor

  • How do you turn off search history completely forever (not clear)?

    When I open up Safari and visit Google.com and start typing, previous searches appear in a list below the search box. The last item on the search box is a link that says, "Clear History". When I click that it says, "Click OK to clear the following searches from history:"
    homemade receipes for PF Chang
    cure for explosive diarrhea
    define Semper Ubi Sub Ubi
    transfering to another school
    Go to preferences for more options.
    I go to preferences and nothing happens! Why doesn't it take me to the settings I need? I guess the technology isn't possible yet. When that day comes please tell me how to turn off this setting forever. Thanks.

    You can use private browsing in safari   When the safari app is open at the bottom left corner tap on the two square icons and after to the left you should see private. Turn this on and no history is saved

  • 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 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

  • How to Delete Messages in Spotlight Search History without Resetting or Syncing!!

    I know there are a lot of individuals dealing with this issue and if you are like me you spend hours searching "how to delete messages in spotlight search history" and it seems like every post either says to reset your phone or sync it! I'm sorry but I did not want to go through the hassle of resetting my phone but I did try to sync it which did nothing so I decided to just mess around with my settings and I believe to have found the answer to everyone's question!!
    This worked for me so I really hope this works for you! Just follow the steps below:
    1. Go to <settings><general><spotlight search><uncheck messages>
    2. Then turn your phone off and wait a minute! Turn your phone back on and off again 2 or 3 more times while waiting a minute in between turning it off!
    3. After you are done doing that go back to step 1 and <check messages>!
    4. Now go to your spotlight search and those messages should be deleted! If they are deleted I would recommend going back to step 1 and <uncheck messages> so you do not have the same problem with messages showing up again in the spotlight search!
    It works for Mail too! Just follow the same steps listed above but uncheck mail instead of messages or do both at the same time!!
    *Here is an extra tip which will remove deleted Mail Messages, just follow the steps below:
    1. Go to <settings><mail, contacts, calendars><your mail account> scroll down and click <advanced> Now click <remove> under the title Deleted Messages and you can choose to have your mail removed After One Day, After One Week, After One Month or Never.
    I hope this post was detailed enough and easy to understand!
    I really hope it works for you like it did for me!
    Good Luck!!!

    I tried this fix and it does not work.
    I have read that this is a problem for a long time - years. Me, personally, I do have emails and texts from the past that are private and were deleted, that I do not want my husband or daughter to read. Many people have this complaint and have had it a long time. Why does Apple not fix it?!?
    Another privacy issue is the iMessage default settings on new devices. We bought a new iPhone for my college-age daughter and received all of her text messages until we noticed it and told her. We did a temporary fix. Then I got a new iPhone and the same thing happened. I had to set up iCloud accts. for each of us so that we each have privacy that cannot be tampered with. We still share our original iTunes account. Why did that have to happen?!? 
    We have been Apple consumers (laptops, iPads, iPods, iPhones) for over ten years (? longer w/just desk top) w/ the same account. These breaches in privacy are upsetting!!  My point here is that these breaches are unacceptable!  The spotlight search issue appears to be unresolved.  FIX THIS APPLE! 

  • 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?

  • How do you clear emails on the ipad search pad?

    How do you clear information on the ipad search pad?  And how do you prevent emails from being saved there?  I thought once you deleted email that it was gone permanently.

    Something weird is going on then. Try the basics, restart, reset or quit all apps and restart.
    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.
    Reset 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.
    To quit all apps - Go to the home screen first by tapping the home button. Quit/close open apps by e w the home button and the task bar will appear with all of you 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 to close the apps. 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.

  • 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.
