How to remove search history and keywords?

taken from http://www.blogcatalog.com
A search in Google home page search box or Googlebar extension results in search terms stored in web history.


On a subsequent search google suggests by showing a drop down list with previously keyed search terms that match what you are keying.

For example, if you have searched in the past for “hot pictures” and when another user, say your spouse, kids or boss starts to key in, “hot topics” or “hot pictures” will be in the drop down box as a suggestion. It’s sometimes embarassing.

Here are the tricks to disable typed keywords from being stored.

Step 1:
Clear stored data from google. To do this, go to Google Search History and login. Now you can see all keyed terms in that page. Even you can jump to a particular date by selecting it from the calender in the right top of the page.

To delete the keywords select “Remove Items” from left panel.



Step 2 : Clean Browser Data

For Internet Explorer user :
-Go to the “Tools” menu
-Select “Internet Options”
-Select the “Content” tab
-Within the “Personal Information” area, select “AutoComplete”
*To clear the current history, click on “Clear Forms”
*To disable this feature entirely, uncheck the “Forms” box

For Mozilla Firefox user :
-Go to the “Tools” menu
-Select “Options”
-Select the “Privacy” tab
-Within the “Saved Form Information” area:
*To clear the current history, click on “Clear”
*To disable this feature entirely, uncheck the “Save information I enter in web
page forms and the search bar”

For Opera user :
-Select “Options”
-Select the “Delete Private Data” tab
-Within the “Delete Private Data” area click “Detailed Option”:
-Select required Option and select “Delete”

For Google Chrome user :
-Select “Options”
-Select the “Private Stuff” tab
-Within the “Delete Private Data” area click “Detailed Option”:
-Select “Never save from forms”
-Select “Clear Browsing Data” and select “Close.

Apart from above procedure, remove all the traces in your system by using WinXP / Vista / 7 Manager ( “Privacy Protector” )
