clearing entries in the search box

[Guest]

Does anyone know how to delete entries in the search box? When I click in the box and then press the arrow key it begins to scroll and show all my past question. Clearing the History doesn't work. Any ideas?

Select the form fill area>down arrow twice>delete key, repeat as required?
Tip - position your mouse pointer over the one you highlight with the down
arrow and keep hitting delete key.
or:
IE>tools>internet options>content>auto-complete, forms is the one to clear
and or disable?

If you are using the Search Toolbar you can go into the

options (? - button) and click off Keep Search History
under Search box.

Hi Lynn - For your Search issue, see below.

To delete ALL Addresses in the Drop Down list, go here and download and
install Mike Burgess' DelTypedURL.inf at
http://mvps.org/winhelp2002/delcache.htm See below for Selective Delete.

You can also get DelSearchMRU.inf at
http://mvps.org/winhelp2002/DelSearchMRU.inf

Note: this does not remove entries entered via AutoComplete. To remove
hidden AutoComplete entries in History:
http://mvps.org/winhelp2002/delcache.htm#AutoComplete


IMPORTANT NOTE: Be sure that ALL instances of IE6 are CLOSED before you do
the install of this(these) .inf files.

A nice alternative just for selective or all Address (not Search) history
maintenance is EditURLs, here: http://www.aandrc.com/editurls/ Here also,
you must close ALL instances of IE6 for the deletions to "take".
