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 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.

  • 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

  • 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 you clear spotlight search history in mail?

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

  • Unable to clear Google search history in Safari

    I am unable to clear old searches in Safari.  None of the following has any effect: using the clear recent searches button, totally resetting Safari, deleting all history and cache and trying to delete each individual search item manually, or by changing default search method.  These are old items, not recent searches, but they continue to show up in the recent search area.  It appears to be a bug.  Any ideas how to REALLY clear out the search cache?
    THANKS

    Seem to have finally fixed it by deleting the safari plist entry.

  • How to clear Google search history

    HI,
    Ever since I updated to 2.1 it has been impossible to clear my Google search terms. Clearing the cache, cookies, etc in 'settings' has no effect.
    Does anyone know how to clear them?

    I'd try a reboot just to see if it fixes the issue.
    Try a reboot (described below).
    Think of it this way, the iPhone is more of a computer than a phone. It suffers from being a new OS and nobody can deny there are not bugs and memory leaks. The longer left running, the more things start to fail or slow down (I have had the iPhone since day one of original phone and I am just speaking from my experience). Thus I equate it to like when Windows95 came out...not sure of your age or if you remember those days...but back then it was a running joke of how many days you can keep Windows 95 running before you had to reboot. I am sorry to say but the iPhone is the same way right now (but getting better with a few hiccups back during the 2.0 release). So for me, I reboot daily when I leave in the morning and take it off the charger. By doing so I rarely see any lag or problems.
    A reset/reboot is:
    Go to Home Screen
    Press and Hold Home Button
    Keep holding and press and hold Lock Button
    Keep holding Both
    You will see Slide to Turn Off (Don't let go to slide, just keep holding)
    The phone will turn off (in time, but screen will look like it has some white lines)
    Keep Holding
    When you see the Apple Logo, you can let go.
    Turning off via the Slide to Turn off while good and fine to turn off, is more like the Sleep Mode on a computer. Thus any locked up issues in memory remain when you turn back on. A reboot as described is like doing a real Turn off and Turn On on a computer.
    You may also wish to read this tread about reboots and odd application behavior.

  • How do I clear my searching history?

  • Google search history

    Hi,
    My problem is, that I simply can't figure out how to clear Google search history from Google search field. I tried reinstalling Safari but records still seem to occour and obviously tend to be stored at some other place on my computer than Safari's deafalt folder (as they remain). Other help suggestion including that one with some com.apple.Safary.plist did not particularly work, I s'pose cause I have Vista not Mac
    Does anybody have some smart hints?
    Please help! Thanx so much!

    Hi,
    thank you very much. However, it did not work. But now I know, I should've been more accurate. Well, my problem is not with the google search field next the brosing field, but with my iGoogle engine. I know that Google has a private search history by account and I deleted all --- nothing happened. When trying to search something, I find keywords older than a month. Moreover, in fact, it is not just with Google but with any other sites where search is needed.
    I simply don't know what to do! Any smart idea?

    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.

  • Clear Google Searches on the iPhone?

    Hey I'm using the 1st gen iPhone with the newly updated v2.0 firmware. I am trying to figure out how to clear the search history on my google searches in the iPhone safari app. I know how to clear the browser history, but not the actual searches I have done. Does anyone know if this can be done?
    Thanks

    Here's how to do it:
    1. Tap settings (from home page)
    2. Tap safari, then clear the history, cookies, and cache using the buttons near the bottom of the page.
    3. Press the home button.
    4. Press and hold both the home and sleep/wake buttons for 10-12 seconds, until the screen flickers off. This will do a "soft reset" on your iphone, just like turning it on and off, but it also empties recently deleted items.
    Note: You will NOT loose any of your prefs or data when doing a soft reset. Also, keep holding down even after you see the "Slide to Power off" screen, and then your iphone will reset a few seconds later.

  • 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?
