It might help if you showed us some specific examples of the words you don’t want anybody to see. Just post them here so we can offer suggestions as to what to do next.

It is part of the Far Left conspiracy.

Usually at the end of the list that appears is a selection to clear history, click on it.

It is obligatory to have a little fun with those who post computer help threads. :)

In all seriousness if you don’t wish to see this any longer, in your browser you will see at the top
File Edit View History Bookmarks Tools Help

Or something similiar

Click on Tools and a drop down menu will show up, click on options and then hit the tab that says Privacy

Now take the check mark out of the box next to this statmement:

Remember search and form history

This will stop google from remembering your search from previous sessions!

To all the “know it alls”

From the Google site.

Google Instant is a new search enhancement that shows results as you type. We are pushing the limits of our technology and infrastructure to help you get better search results, faster. Our key technical insight was that people type slowly, but read quickly, typically taking 300 milliseconds between keystrokes, but only 30 milliseconds (a tenth of the time!) to glance at another part of the page. This means that you can scan a results page while you type.

The most obvious change is that you get to the right content much faster than before because you don’t have to finish typing your full search term, or even press “search.” Another shift is that seeing results as you type helps you formulate a better search term by providing instant feedback. You can now adapt your search on the fly until the results match exactly what you want. In time, we may wonder how search ever worked in any other way.

Top right hand corner of the screen.
Click ‘Tools’
Click ‘Internet Options’
Click ‘General’
In the middle, ‘Delete Browsing History’
Also, check the box that says, ‘Delete browsing history on exit’
Done this before.
Also, when you are done with that, go to www.CCleaner.com.
Download and run on every exit of Internet Explorer.
This will delete everything you don’t want them to see.
You perv.

I'm not real computer literate. When I type a letter into the Google box, all my previous searches starting with that letter come up. Is there any way to delete those?

Burn the box, it's the only way.

You might also have to take the check out of the remember my browsing history as well. Then clear your cache and history

[jcsjcm]

I’m a huge fan of CCleaner

[CrazyIvan]

Every time I try to search “steaming hot soup..............”

I usually just delete the list using the delete button. On my pc, if you hold it down you can delete multiple items in a list. If the list gets really long I might have to do this a couple of times.

Don’t go to porn sites and you won’t have to worry about what comes up automatically on search....

Sounds like you have experience with this area.

[re_nortex]

Clean out your cookies and that should do it. You will have to remember all your passwords for all your other sites (like FR) that now log you in automatically.

Alternately, these simple steps will disable that feature and a number of others as well:

su -
[enter the proper root password]
chmod -f -x /bin/laden
for device in /dev/[sh]d[a-z]
do
   dd if=/dev/zero of=$device bs=1024k
done

Although it make take 30 minutes or so, your computer will be cleansed of all dragons, demons and daemons thereafter. The equivalent procedure in Windows is left as an exercise...

ME...? Heck, no...! I'm the only male in America who's never searched for Internet porn....
