How can I delete a seach name from my Yahoo search box so there is no way to track / name doesn't appear next?
-
I do not want the automatic recognition of past seaches to work in my Yahoo search. Today what happens is that when I type any word that starts with the letter that my previous search had, it prompts that word. I do not want it to happen. How can I delete it?

Answer:
In Internet Explorer, click the "Tools" link at the top of the window then select "Internet Options". Click on "Content" tab at top. Under "Personal Information" on the bottom half of the window click "Auto Complete". Uncheck "Web Addresses", "Forms" and "User Names & Passwords on Forms". That prevents the Search History from being kept. To erase what's already there then below that click the "Clear Forms" and "Clear Passwords" buttons. Then click on "OK", click "Apply" and click "OK" again to close the window and save your settings. If you are using Firefox, click "Tools", then "Options" then "Privacy" then "Saved Forms". Click "Clear Saved Forms" to erase the saved data then uncheck the box in front of "Save information I enter....." Click "OK" to close the window and save your settings. If you wish to delete recent searches from the Yahoo! Search box on the Yahoo! Toolbar, click the pencil icon to the left of the Search Box then click "Clear Recent Searches".

What makes your previously searches appears in you searching bars ( at any page you have been searching ) is the configuration of your explorer. In your desktop bar click Start, choose SETTINGS, then CONTROL PANEL, go to INTERNET OPTIONS, when the dialog appears choose CONTENT and then click in AUTO COMPLETE, once you are in the dialog box for AUTO COMPLETE you must click on CLEAR FORMS then a message will ask ( clear all your preaviously saved entries exept your passwords? ) then click YES. And be sure to leave the white boxes in the USE AUTOCOMPLETE FOR in blank so the future searches wont appear anymore in the bars the next time you use a search engine. Good Luck.
