   Some browsers automatically save the information you put into search bars. It is an easy fix. Go to the Web page that is saving the information. Click in the (SEARCH) bar. Hit the down cursor on your keyboard and hit the Delete button on your keyboard for each term.

   These steps are based on Internet Explorer 7 (You can find which version you have by clicking Help, About Internet Explorer):

   To make sure that you don’t get those terms saved in your search box in the future (i.e., to turn off auto-complete):
   Click on Tools on the Menu Bar.
   Click Internet Explorer Options.
   Go to the Advanced Tab.
   In the Settings box, scroll down until you see "Use Inline Auto Complete" deselect that box.
   Click OK.

   To clear the search box terms all at once:
   Click Tools on the Menu Bar.
   Click Internet Explorer Options.
   Click the General Tab.
   Click Delete… button.
   Click Delete Forms… (to only delete the information that was saved in text fields) or Delete All… (to delete your history, cookies, form information, etc.). Using Delete All… will get rid of everything that you takes up extra space. You can also click the buttons individually if you want to keep, for example, passwords.

   Please note: Deleting your history will delete your browsing history…. not information you typed in your search box.
