Hello everyone! I was wondering how to remove search words from search engine & other pages? I'm talking about when the first letter is typed & previous search words drop down. There are some that I'd like to keep. Just wondering if some of them can be removed? Thanks in advance!

Don't know which browser your referring to but I use Safari and have just had to do the exact thing you're asking about ...

In Safari:

Safari -> Preferences -> AutoFill Tab -> Other forms -> Edit ...

The window that opens just displays websites so I removed any website that I didn't want stored there.

So, depending on which browser you use, the answer is surely in the Prefs.

If it's Firefox, then hover your mouse over the entry and press Shift ForwardDelete to erase that entry.

To remove all entries of any text field (text box):
Tools > Clear Private Data
Check "Saved Form and Search History" and click "Clear Private Data Now"
