Hi
Does anybody know how I can stop Google or other search engines displaying
the last search I made. This was a problem for me recently when I was
looking for a present for my Husband and was searching for theatre tickets.
When he wanted to search for something that began with T, my search string
showed in the window screen. Can I stop this happenning please?
Thank you.
Regards. S

Click to expand...

Assuming IE, clear the History
Open IE -> Tools -> InternetOptions -> General tab -> Clear History

You can be evn more ruthless and download a freeware program like
ccleaner to rid of all other temp files. Doesn't delete anything
dangerous, but it is pretty ruthless (you may have to retype in
passwords, unless you tweak the settings - but it does a pretty good
cleanout of the type of things you don't want others to see)
 
Sal,

On the Search sites you can delete various past searches while leaving
others you may want. On Google, click in a cleared search box to bring up
your past searches, highlight the search item you want deleted, hold down
the 'Ctrl' key & press the 'Delete' key. Holding down the 'Delete' key
continuously will continue deleting the others until you stop pressing the
key. This should work on all search sites.

In the Google toolbar, select Options > Search tab, uncheck 'Drop down
search history', click OK.
