   good advice, I was wondering about this and now I know, keep up the good work.

6. # anonon 19 Apr 2005 at 2:44 am

   Don’t forget that if you use GMail or otherwise have identified yourself to Google and kept the cookies, Google has the potential to track what you search for over time.

   This is a lot more obvious when you visit Amazon’s search engine, A9, and it pops up a list of what you’ve searched for. Not only that, it lets you clear searches from display, but they’re still saved. If A9 does it, who says Google won’t?

   Google stores info about our company website which is OK, but also some personal details that I have placed on other websites, I would like to delete some of this information and remove any personal details, especially that of my children. I can easily find this info by doing a search by name. Is this possible?

8. # Markon 23 Apr 2005 at 8:16 am

   Lyn,

   I understand the problem. EVERYTHING anyone posts now seems to show up on search engines. I don’t know of a way to clear that except to contact the web site owners to see if they can remove it.

    Can someone tell me how to do this in Safari?

    I have tried everything short of resetting Safari (which would clear all my other autocomplete items as well). I just want to clear the Google and Yahoo search engine drop down windows.

    Jason,
    I had exactly the same question! I hope this response isn’t to late, but I just read this page looking for the answer and figured it out. In Safari’s Preferences go to the “AutoFill” tab and next to the “Other forms” checkbox, click the “Edit…” button. Scroll down the list until you see google.com and click “Remove.” Afetrward click “Done” and you should be set!

    Carl you can double-click on a empty search box and drop any item listed there using shift-delete on highlighted item. Just use the navigation keys to do that.

    SK you article has a clear language, that can be the spotlight on end of tunnel to many users. So i´d translated it to Brazilian Portuguese here . I left a link to your original content too, of course!

    Hello, i’m using Opera Version 8.02 and i can’t get rid of the google search history. I have tried these steps.

    1) Delete cookies
    2) Delete files
    3) Delete history
    4) Delete cached pages/info
    4) Run Adaware
    5) Run Spybot

    None of these work.

    2nd.. How does one active that ‘drop down menu’ of history of google searches?
    I always do this by accident. If i knew how to active it, i can try different methods of problem solving.

    I cannot find the History folder on my toolbar. It disappeared after I installed a Fotomat toolbar. I then deinstalled he Fotomat toolbar but the History folder button (the one that looks like a sundial) is still missing. I know about the new personalized SEARCH HISTORY but it wasn’t on when I searched the sites I am after now. And “Internet Options” still says I am keeping my files for 7 days. Can you give me any advice on this?
    Thank you.

    You can use Free Internet Window Washer to clear Google search history. For Internet Explorer, you can click ‘Wash Settings’ and switch to ‘Browsers’ and check all options on ‘Internet Explorer’. Switch to ‘Applications’ page and check ‘Google Toolbar’ and click ‘OK’ button. Then click ‘Wash Now’ to wash the google search history. You can download the software at http://www.eusing.com/Window_Washer/Window_Washer.htm.

     I’ve read all these posts and still do not have a clear idea on how to clear the history. I want to clear the ‘suggest popular search’ history from the Google toolbar; that is the new toolbar that appears on IE. I have tried ‘delete history’ and that only deletes the immediate history. I have tried deleteing my browsing history, removing Google toolbar from my computer, washing programs, I have even follwed the instructions on the Google website – nothing works. Even after deleting the history the ‘suggest popular search’ will still display previous searches. For example type an ‘s’ in the Google toolbar and all previous searches beginning with an ‘s’ will appear. Sure, you can turn this feature off, but someone else can easily turn it back on and look at what searches have been made. How do I rid my computer of entries that pop up in the ‘suggest poular search’ history of the Google toolbar? Please help!!!

     GOOGLE SAVES SEARCH HISTORY ON EVERY SEARCH EVER DONE THROUGH GOOGLE !!!! ALONG WITH YOUR IP ADDRESS !!!

     IT DOESN’T MATTER IF YOU CLEAR YOUR HISTORY

     I am trying to delete the search history from the google homepage on Safari, but when I get to the “autofill” tab under “preferences,” the “edit” button next to “other forms” is completely inactive (I can’t click on it at all). Does anyone know how I can fix this problem?

     Im having problems deleting my the history on my computer even after going into tools and internet options and clearing my history. But for some reason websites still appear when you got to type in the address bar. Please help im trying to clear the adress history before i sell my labtop. Thank you.

146. # Joe DOUBLE blogon 16 Sep 2007 at 8:42 am

     Safari>Preferences>Autofill…
     Tick off “Other forms” THEN click “Edit”… Delete all….
     Might want to tick off everything as well, Edit delete/remove…
     Then Security tab, Show cookies, delete…

     This will clear some prefs savings, user name login stuff…
     Also > user library > Safari… Delete Histoty.plist… (if you are curious open it this text edit…)

147. # theycallhimbreeon 18 Sep 2007 at 7:31 am

     i found this really useful;..
     just when your on the main google web page or if your just typing things into the web address bar,
     all you do is highlight the link by putting your mouse over it, but not clicking it and then holding down shift and pressing delete. always works on any browser. =]

     How can I clear the google searches from the search engine area in latest edition of firefox/mac?

149. # Kirstieon 24 Sep 2007 at 6:19 pm

     If you are using safari, if you click on “Safari” in the toolbar then go down to Reset Safari… It will reset it to the way that it was when you first started using it and also clear the google entries.

159. # Johnon 08 Dec 2007 at 8:58 pm

     I don’t get it. Nothing is there, and nothing works as described. I click on the Google logo, and there is no “clear history” option. I highlight a search item and hit delete, and nothing happens.

     I have been trying to delete Google history for months, and it ain’t happenin’ for me. The help is no help. What’s up?
