Deleting Internet Explorer Search items

martyfarty69

Hi

Just a quick stupid question, on IE whenever i go into Google, or Msn or yahoo search or anything like that, as soon as i type in the first letter of what i want to search for i get a huge list of what ive previously searched for, which is a little annoying.
Does anyone know of a way to get rid of it so i dont get that stupid drop down list everytime. Ive deleted my cookies and temp internet files but still get it .

Cheers

Try this https://www.ccleaner.com

Just tick AutoComplete Form History.

Or

Internet Options, Content, Autocomplete, Clear Forms.

If you go to tools>internet options>content>autocomplete and uncheck the forms option and then clear forms they should be gone.HTH

I wouldnt untick Forms as they can be very handy at times.

click on the word google on your toolbar and click "clear search history" easy peasy:D:D shour work with the rest of them as well

And to delete individual entries, go to Google etc., retrieve the search term by pressing the first letter, highlight the required search term in the dropdown box and press Shift+Delete.

The OP said they didn't want the drop down box
