196796 2003-12-03 03:46:00 Did you try asking Google itself? :-)

If you put in "clear google history" there is an answer on the first link provided. If that is not suitable try some of the other pages. ;-)

Alternatively you could do a search on this forum as it has been covered here a few times previously. Only thing is that finding the right threads is not easy. :-(

196797 2003-12-03 05:32:00 This search history is from the actual website google.com and not from the google search tool installed as a add-on within Internet Explorer itself? - see example here (http://toolbar.google.com/)

If you wish to disable auto-complete so that IE doesn't try to second guess what words you are entering in (you will notice this when typing in URL's in the address bar as well) try this:

In IE go to Tools > Internet Options > Content Tab > AutoComplete button. Remove any ticks from the options you do not want and also use the "Clear AutoComplete history" buttons as well.

Ignore all this if this is not what you were meaning :)

196799 2003-12-03 13:10:00 If you worried about your key word history and don't want to delete all the history, you can delete individual entry's by high-lighting key words from the drop-down menu (high-lights blue) and then just press the delete key. Archibald (180)
