Clearing history

[Guest]

I have been trying to clear history of my usage in IE6.

The normal history information I have managed to clear but what is stumping
me is the history of searches conducted in Search engines such as Yahoo or
Lycos for example.

Is there a way of doing it?

Thanks

Tools | Internet Options | Content | AutoComplete | Clear Forms.

NOTE: This will clear the stored information for all forms, not just
Search.

Try turning off AutoComplete for Forms before clearing History?
(assuming there are no passwords associated with those pages?)

Alternatively, clear Forms *three times* ;o and then clear History.

Oh, sorry that's for clearing Passwords. (It sounds like Dorothy clicking
her heels or something. <g>)

Clear Passwords, and then click OK three times.
