Deleting Your AutoComplete History
You may have noticed that when you type a search into a web site search box (such as Google or Yahoo!), a list of previously searched for terms are displayed. These previous searches are not saved by any web site, but are actually saved by your web browser through a feature called AutoComplete.According to Microsoft: “Internet Explorer includes a feature called AutoComplete that keeps track of information that you’ve recently typed, such as Web site addresses, information in forms, and search queries. As you type new information, AutoComplete tries to anticipate what you are typing and offers possible matches.”
Unless deleted or turned off, the AutoComplete function of your browser stores all your web searches so that it can “help” you by offering dropdowns to prior searches when you start to type in a search box – at sites like Google, Yahoo, etc.
