Hi:
My question involves this: I know how to reset the History of sites visited
on IE 6.0 - this is done by going to Tools/Options and Clear History - that
is easy enough.
But, how do you go about and clearing the history of search terms used in
search engines - Any ideas? There might be several hundred search terms when
I start inputting a search term and I would like to erase them - Thanks for
any assistance.
