Question about private web browsing and Spotlight

I was browsing personal webpages on a work computer using Safari's 'Private Web Browsing', but although Safari doesn't remember the pages, Spotlight does which is a little concerning!
I have excluded webpages from Spotlight searches but that doesn't mean the pages have gone. I have tried clearing my history in Safari and Resetting it, to no avail. Can someone tell me how to delete the webpages from Spotlight?
Thanks and regards

Hi Rapidness,
I checked on my computer and do not have this issue. And I have no website located somewhere on my machine, after cleaning / or resetting the browser.
In the "Safari" - Menu > below the "Private Surfing" > is "Safari Reset"
Maybe you should try this...
You can also use "Onyx" to reset the browser. See the link below:

  • I use Outlook for my email on the Safari web browser, and about 90% of the time when I want to attach a pdf or jpg file the email message will crash.

    I use Outlook for my email on the Safari web browser, and about 90% of the time when I want to attach a pdf or jpg file it fails and about 50% of the time when I want to send a standard text massage it will also fail and the email massage crashes. The only way I can get my Outlook to work is if I switch to Firefox web browser. I would rather not switch to a new web browser if I don't have to.
    It seems like what ever the problem is that its related the Safari web browser, because it works fine on the Firefox web browser.
    I think its some kind of plug-in failure because it giving me a LOC ERROR:
    LOC ERROR: Unable to locate localized string for resource ID 5007.
    How can I fix this Plug-in?
    And, yes my softwer is conpletly updated…

    That's an Outlook issue. You'll probably get better responses posting on the Office for Mac forums.

    See if you can find a NPPDF32.DLL files in the Firefox program folder (C:\Program Files\Mozilla Firefox\)
    You can see the installed plugins on the about:plugins page.
    * http://kb.mozillazine.org/about%3Aplugins
    You can set the pref plugin.expose_full_path to true on the about:config page to see the full path of plugins on the about:plugins page.
    It is best not to leave that pref set to true as it exposes that full path to web servers, so reset that pref to false after you are done with the about:plugins page.
    You can open about:plugins and about:config via the location bar, like you open a website (about: is a special protocol to access some build-in pages).
    If you get a warning when opening the about:config page then you can confirm that you want to continue.

  • Apple Users Can't Get Rid Of The New 'Super Cookies' That Track Private Web Browsing

    Further to the article "Apple Users Can't Get Rid Of The New ‘Super Cookies’ That Track Private Web Browsing" https://ca.finance.yahoo.com/news/apple-users-cant-rid-super-180500863.html, is there a solution to resolve this security issue?
    Here's an excerpt from the above mentioned article;
    "Apple users are particularly vulnerable, as their devices do not have a function that lets users delete super cookies from their browsers.
    Most websites place what’s called a “cookie” on visitors’ computers, which is used to track them and record their preferences. It’s how websites can remember your password, for example. Like your web browsing history, they’re easy to delete. If you use your browser’s “private browsing” mode they’re never saved in the first place — and advertisers can't track you, and other computer users can't go back and see what you looked at.
    However, a flaw in a modern web security feature called “HTTP Strict Transport Security” (HSTS) allows websites to plant “super cookies” that can be used to track web users’ browsing habits even when private browsing is enabled.
    Here’s how it works.
    Security researcher Sam Greenhalgh writes that HSTS “allows a website to indicate that it should aways be accessed using a secure connection that encrypts your communication with the site.” This “flag” is then saved by your web browser, ensuring that any future visits to the website are secure. But this can also be abused, using this feature to store a unique number that can be used to track your web browser.
    And because HSTS carries over into private browsing, it means the “super cookie” can be used to track you whether you’re attempting to cover your steps or not.
    Greenhalgh says that Apple’s Safari web browser is especially vulnerable to the exploit. While clearing cookies on Mozilla’s Firefox, Google Chrome or Opera also erases HSTS flags, deleting the super cookies, there’s no way to do so on Safari on iOS devices.
    This means that if you’ve had super cookies placed on your iPad or iPhone, there’s effectively no way to get rid of them short of reformatting the entire machine."

    Hi all,
    I tried this with IOS 7.1.2 Safari on an iPad retina and the super cookie did not persist after web data and history was deleted.
    I also tried this with IOS 8.1.2 Safari on an iPhone 6, and the super cookie persisted even after deleting web history and website data.
    Evidently it was ok on 7.1.2 and broken on 8.1.2.

  • Isolated: WEP is messing up my web browsing and uploads. Why?

    My web browsing and uploads keep "hanging" when accessing my AP Extreme wirelessly.
    A straight HTML downloads fine. But a page that has code that talks back to the server (e.g. a Google docs page) hangs. Also it seems that javascript navigation that sends info back up to the server also hangs.
    I just discovered after resetting my base station, this only happens when I use WEP encryption.
    I don't want to leave my network open. How do I fix this?

    If you search you'll find lots of complaints about this very problem. I'm not sure that a single, specific solution was ever reported.
    I suffered from this problem also. To me it seemed to be related to the fact that I had the "Create closed network" option selected.
    It also seemed that I had to make sure I entered the IP address of my router, but in my case that is because the AEBNs are not providing my DHCP service - my DSL router is.
    There is also an Airport Extreme update out on Apple's web site that may help.
    Whatever the problem(s), in my case turning off "Create closed network" and entering my router's IP address in the AEBN configuration seemed to solve the issue.
    And, by the way, it was Google that I was having a problem with, and Google that everyone else was having a problem with!
    Good luck.

  • Safari Private Web Browsing

    Hello, I'm running OSX Server 10.4.9 (Dual G5 2.3Ghz), we have Open Directory server. All clients are also running 10.4.9.
    Everyday I have to keep running a terminal command to delete all safari cache and it's getting boring lol.
    How can I force WGM prefs to set Safari private web browsing so these cache files do not even get created in the first place???
    Any help with be excellent.
    Thanks
    Xserve G5 Dual 2.3Ghz 2Gb RAM & Xserve RAID   Mac OS X (10.4.9)   Open Directory Server

    I haven't done what you're proposing, but you could create a cron job to delete the caches using the command you already have. That would probably be the least amount of trouble.

    I tried many time, and it really doesn't work.
    The plug-in I have is Adobe Acrobat 8.3.0.280

    After I upgraded to Firefox 5, I had the same problem and I did a work around temporarily. I went the tools menu, then Add-ons, then clicked the "Plugins" on the left side (4th one down). I "disabled" both Adobe Acrobat 8.3.0.280 and Adobe Acrobat 10.1.0.536 using the disable buttons on the right side. PDF files now open again. However they are outside the actual browser.
    My guess is that Adobe didn't catch up yet with a new update to work with Firefox or vice versa.
    Hope that helps!

  • Disabling web browsing and Wifi Itunes music store

    We're thinking of getting a iPod touch for the kids for xmas and I'm wondering if there is a way to disable web browsing and iTunes wifi access, since I understand there are no parental controls available on the touch. Thanks

    yes there is no way to disable this icons, and the only way to do this is to put a password on your wireless router settings, this way they don't know the password and that they can not access the safari, youtube, and the wi-fi itunes music store.

  • Web browser and main screen links

    Ipad and iphone in your web browser and select the Add button on the main screen links you'd records. But after a while interfering links and previous links always returning to the same links. Waiting for your help.

    Hello Kerim Koral,
    It sounds like you are saving webpages to your home screen, and they seem to be changing unexpectedly. I recommend closing all the running apps first:
    iOS: Force an app to close
    http://support.apple.com/kb/ht5137
    Double-click the Home button.
    Swipe left or right until you have located the app you wish to close.
    Swipe the app up to close it.
    When you have done that and restart the phone and test the issue again:
    iOS: Turning off and on (restarting) and resetting
    http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1430
    Thank you for using Apple Support Communities.
    All the best,

  • Can I use Safari as my main web browser and Firefox when Safari isn't supported?

    Can I use Safari as my main web browser and Firefox when Safari isn't supported?

    www.apple.com/support/safari
    Also use the User Agent and see if that works on those sitess.
    Safari keeps a lot of web history and cache on disk and it tends to be RAM hungry (even FF has gotten a big larger on RAM footprint)
    There are other browsers and sometimes Opea is a good choice or there is OmniWeb which I still after 10 yrs? still favor.
