One behavior that you might notice when typing something on the Google search field is that it pops out suggestions from your previous searches. Clearing your history is a good privacy and security measure. Especially when you search all sorts of “stuff” on the family computer. You don’t want your kid brother to come up with your searches that start with “hot” or something.
Google searches are stored as part of “saved forms.” So those are what you want to clear. Here are the basic steps on both Firefox and IE.
On Mozilla Firefox
Here’s what you should do on Firefox:
- Click on
Tools->Options - Click on the
Privacytab - Click on settings to check and uncheck what you want to clear.
- Check
saved form an search history - Click OK.
- Click Clear Now.
Actually, here’s a quicker way using a shortcut.
- Press Ctrl + Shift + Del
- Check
saved form an search history - Click on “Clear Private Data”
On Internet Explorer 6
- Click on
Tools->Internet Options - Click on the
Contenttab - Click
AutoCompletein thePersonal Informationsection - Click on
Clear Formsto clear the current history - If you want to disable

On Internet Explorer 7
