How To Delete Recent Searches On Your Google Browser

November 15th, 2009

You may have recently discovered that when you start doing a search in your Google browser that several other things you have searched before start jumping up. This is your recently searched history and most people do not want this revealed to anyone that may be using your computer. I most certainly do not like people seeing my recent searches. If you are the same way and want to know how to delete recent searches, then I have some suggestions to remedy this problem.

You will find that deleting the recent searches is fairly simple but will be different for the different browsers being used. I have the tips you need if you are using one of the three top search engines. You will be able to delete any recent search history and keep people from reading your business.

If you have Internet Explorer running 6, 7 or version IEB the following steps will need to be performed. First you need to click the tools menu. From the tools menu you then need to select the delete browsing history. You will then click the delete forms button. You will be asked to click yes or no in the confirmation window, click yes. Then click the close button and your done.

If you are running Mozilla Firefox then you want to start the same way. Go to your tools menu and select clear private data. You will then need to select saved form and search history. Your last step is to click the clear private data now button and that is it. Told you it is all pretty simple.

Safari 2 or even 3 is just as simple. If you are using this browser you will need to go to the safari menu and click on it. Find preferences and click that, then find the auto fill tab and click it. Once you have done that, you will need to find the checkbox for other forms and click the edit button that is next to it. Select Google.com from this menu, and hit remove.

No one will be able to find anything you have searched up to this point. It may be wise to do this every so often, to keep people from snooping through your searches. You do not have to be someone that keeps secrets, to not want everyone looking through your searches. Some people simply like their privacy.
