Hi all,

Using IE6 I have the following question:
When I remove the browsers history, the search history on the Google page is
not removed. IE7 has a special function for that, but how do I remove the
search history for Google in IE6?

Thanks in advance for your help.

With kind regards,

Open IE -> Tools menu -> Internet Options -> tab "Content" -> under
"Personal Information" click on "Autocomplete" button -> click on "Clear
Forms" button -> Yes.
