Where does the op sys save the search by default?

Can I change this.

Can I delete them

I am using SP 3

Thanks
 
This "used" to work if you meant Save.fnd

This may help: "HOW TO: Save a Search Query in Windows XP"
(http://support.microsoft.com/?kbid=308885).

Go to Windows Explorer, highlight the folder in question, open Search then
hit search. When it is done go to File/Save Search and use .fnd as the
extension, save to the desktop.

If you meant how to clear Search History, see line 24 (right hand side). It
is a small utility I wrote back in the day!

If you want the path via regedit: Here you go.

Manual Edit:

Go to Start/Run/Regedit and navigate to this key:
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Search Assistant\ACMru

To prevent keeping a history altogether, right click ACMru/Permissions/Deny
all users and groups listed.

Alternatively, IE/Search/Change Preferences/Turn AutoComplete Off
