You can clear ur Google search history from the Google search box, the

Google Toolbar, or ur browser. We've included instructions for all three

methods below.

CLEARING YOUR GOOGLE SEARCH BOX HISTORY  
 
The search history that displays in the search box on the Google homepage  
is stored by ur browser, not by Google. Instructions appear below for  
disabling this search history in common browsers. If ur browser isn't  
listed, we suggest consulting its online support center.  
 
Microsoft Internet Explorer  
1. Go to the ''Tools'' menu.  
2. Select ''Internet Options'' & the ''Content'' tab.  
3. Within the ''Personal information'' area, select ''AutoComplete.''  
4. Click on ''Clear Forms.'' You can also un-check the ''Forms'' box in  
this window to keep this information from being stored in the future.  
5. Click ''OK'' to exit.  
 
Alternatively, you can delete individual entries from ur search history by  
using the Down arrow key to highlight a previous search, then pressing the  
Delete key once.  
 
MSN  
If you're using the Microsoft Network (MSN), changes made in Internet  
Explorer (IE) will take effect in ur MSN browser. After making changes in  
IE, you will need to sign out of & back into MSN for the changes to take  
effect.  
 
Mozilla Firefox  
1. Go to the ''Tools'' menu.  
2. Select ''Options'' > ''Privacy'' > ''Saved Form Information.''  
3. Click ''Clear'' & un-check the box.  
4. Click ''OK'' to exit.  
 
Safari  
1. Go to the ''Safari'' menu & select ''Preferences.''  
2. From the menus that pop up, select ''Autofill.''  
3. Go to ''Other forms'' line & select the ''Edit'' button.  
4. From the list of sites for which AutoFill is currently being applied,  
select ''Google.com'' > ''Remove'' > ''Done.''  
 
CLEARING YOUR GOOGLE TOOLBAR HISTORY  
 
To clear ur search history from the drop-down text box on the Google  
Toolbar:  
 
1. Click on the Google logo on the Toolbar to access the drop-down menu.  
2. Select the ''Clear Search History'' option.  
 
If you'd like to completely disable ur Toolbar is search history, please  
click the ''Options'' button on ur Toolbar & un-check the box next to  
''Drop-down search history.''  
 
If you have Google Toolbar 4.0 installed, you can clear ur Toolbar is  
search history by starting to enter a search term in ur Toolbar is search  
box. When ur drop-down search history appears, simply click the ''Clear  
History'' link.  
 
Please note that this only clears the search history from the Google  
Toolbar, which is entirely separate from the search history stored by ur  
browser.  
 
If you've followed these steps & information still appears in ur Toolbar  
search box as you type, please visit http://google.com/support/bin/answer.  
for additional assistance.  
 
CLEARING YOUR BROWSER HISTORY  
 
Like ur Google search box history, the search history that displays in the  
address bar on the Google homepage is stored by ur browser, not by Google.  
Instructions appear below for clearing and/or disabling ur search history  
in common browsers. If ur browser isn't listed, we suggest consulting its  
online support center.  
 
Microsoft Internet Explorer  
1. Go to the ''Tools'' menu.  
2. Select ''Internet Options'' & the ''General'' tab.  
3. Click the ''Clear History'' button. To completely disable the history  
function, set ''Days to keep pages in history'' to zero (''0'').  
4. Click ''OK'' to exit.  
 
MSN  
If you're using the Microsoft Network (MSN), changes made in Internet  
Explorer (IE) will take effect in ur MSN browser. After making changes in  
IE, you will need to sign out of & back into MSN for the changes to take  
effect.  
 
Mozilla Firefox  
1. Go to the ''Tools'' menu.  
2. Select ''Options'' > ''Privacy'' > ''History.''  
3. Click on ''Clear.'' To completely disable the history function, set  
''Remember visited pages for the last X days'' to zero (''0'').  
4. Click ''OK'' to exit.  
 
Safari  
1. Click ''History'' on the top menu.  
2. Click ''Clear History'' at the bottom of the menu.

If you want to clear just a few, when the drop-down list comes up with  
them, just hit DELETE when they are highlighted and they will go away.  
 
Hope that helps!
