Murph the Smurf

Does anyone know how to clear the search bar in IE? I
would just like a way to delete all of the previous
searches. I've been searching for a replacement
engagement ring for my wife (who LOST her original) and
if she sees what I've been looking for . . . THE GIG IS
UP! Anyone know how to clear the previous searches? Any
help is sincerely appreciated!

Hi Murph - 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".
