355833 2005-05-17 02:39:00 When I click twice on Google search(where you type in what you're looking for)it lists all the words previously typed. How do you delete this history? I've tried everything I can think of but it's still there! don (8100)
355834 2005-05-17 02:53:00 You can do it easily from the google tool bar,I await with interest to see how one does it from the google site. Cicero (40)

355837 2005-05-17 03:16:00 Thats because all browser's do things differently, with IE in particuler stashing temp and cache files all over the computer..... Metla (12)
355838 2005-05-17 03:17:00 What browser? If Firefox, it's in Tools > Options > Privacy, uncheck the tickbox (in Linux it's Edit > Preferences > Privacy, uncheck the tickbox.

If IE or one of it's dirivitives, I think it's buried in the Security or Browsing tab of Properties, can't quite remember??

Is there an option in there to prevent the info being stored in the first place?
