How do I clear the search history in my toolbar? \nYahoo! Toolbar will remember your recent searches so that you can easily find the things you searched for previously. However, there are several ways you can clear the search history in the toolbar. \n\nIf you want to remove all the entries in your search history right now, but you still want Yahoo! Toolbar to remember your searches in the future, do the following: \n\nClick on the Pencil menu \nSelect "Clear Recent Searches" \nIf you want to save your recent searches while you're searching on the web, but to automatically clear the saved searches when you close your browser window, do the following: \n\nClick on the Pencil menu \nSelect "Toolbar Options" \nSelect "Auto clear recent searches when exiting IE" so that there is a checkmark in the box next to it. \nClick "OK" \nIf you want to disable the feature entirely so none of your searches are saved, do the following: \n\nClick on the Pencil menu \nSelect "Toolbar Options" \nClick "Remember Recent Searches" so that there is not a checkmark in the box next to it \nClick "OK" \nNote: Yahoo! Toolbar for Mozilla Firefox currently does not have the ability to disable the search history or automatically clear it on exit. Those features will be added in a future release. \n\nIf you have disabled the search history in Yahoo! Toolbar but are still seeing items suggested when you type, your browser is saving that information. For Internet Explorer, check your options under Tools>Internet Options>AutoFill. For Mozilla Firefox, check Tools>Options>Privacy>Saved Form Information
